Summary
The POUNDER project focuses on the adaptation of urban ponds to pollution to enhance the resilience of aquatic ecosystems. It aims to explore eco-evolutionary dynamics and ecosystem resilience in the face of environmental challenges. The project addresses the impact of pollution on urban ponds and seeks to develop strategies for sustainable planning and management. Key aspects include understanding spatio-temporal dynamics of pollutants and promoting ecosystem resilience.
