Through the $1.82 million project, the scientists at the NTU Asian School of the Environment plan to build baseline data on the rates of release of nutrients by dead leaves and soil in forests and parks to develop a protocol for long-term monitoring. Findings from the nutrient cycle project will be used to create models showing cycling rates in different environmental conditions and land management scenarios to find ways to improve a park or nature reserve’s resilience and health.
And on Wednesday, the Centre for Liveable Cities and the Singapore-ETH Centre inked an agreement to share knowledge and translate scientific know-how into actual solutions to improve planning and development. Now, the scientists have been given $17 million through the National Environment Agency to scale up their solutions at the industrial stage.
The four research projects are part of and funded by the urban solutions and sustainability arm of Singapore’s $25 billion five-year Research, Innovation and Enterprise plan, or RIE2025.
