Domestic and introduced species have significant social, economic, landscape and ecological value and provide a range of ecosystem services. Since today it is very difficult to avoid the introduction and spread of alien species we are faced with the challenging task of achieving and maintaining balance in the so-called “New ecosystems”. How to achieve this? The NATURALLY project wants to explore one of the possibilities.
