LOCATING SPACE FOR ECOSYSTEMS

Diverse set of ecosystems

Several areas of the site have been designed to provide a variety of ecosystems for a variety of different animals. The main spaces for this on site include the wetland, woodland and orchard areas. This is due to the density of plantlife in these areas being able to be habitat for a range of species.

Using the urban fox adaptability trait we can create a series of landscapes that can introduce many different types of ecosystems.

These ecosystems support the fox through allowing for a sustainable and natural food chain, whilst also incorporating a biodiverse sphere into an otherwise derelict and bio-monolithic area of Stockport.

The above diagrams show the different ecosystems that surround the fox design on site. This inclides a range of amphibians, fish and insects in the wetland area, small mammals and insects in the orchard area, and more mammals and birds in the woodland area of the site.
