Developing biodiverse cenosis for urban/anthropized lawns

Urban lawns are under strong environmental and cultural pressure, and today they are expected to meet many requirements: flexibility, sustainability, and above all, biodiversity — not only of plants, but also of insects, birds, and small mammals.

Unfortunately, these values are often missing in current urban green spaces. That’s why, since 2020, Landlab, together with several partners, has launched research and experimental projects aimed at identifying and selecting plant materials suitable for this paradigm shift.

In recent years, demonstration plots featuring biodiverse meadow species have been established, and extensive experimental trials, multiplication, and selection of plant materials have been conducted. Open-pollinated varieties, along with various ecotypes and flowering species, have been tested and characterized to identify those that best combine with perennial grasses for use in urban environments.

Our goal is to broaden and refine varietal selection through collaboration with other partners — creating biodiverse grassland mixtures tailored to specific climatic zones and promoting urban solutions that truly support biodiversity.
