Oskam, P.I.J. (author), Bier, H.H. (author), Alavi, Hamed S. (author)Minimal interventions that provide various microclimates can stimulate both biodiversity and social accessibility of leftover spaces. New habitats are often developed for different animal and plant species based on studies of the microclimates typical of such residual spaces. By introducing interventions of 0.5-1.0 m diameter ‘planetoids’ placed...journal article 2022
