Archetypes of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for farming in the North York Moors National Park

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) have emerged as crucial strategies to address climate change challenges, offering manifold benefits to biodiversity and communities by safeguarding, linking and rejuvenating ecosystems.
We identify and analyse how NbS have been applied within the Farming in Protected Landscapes programme in the North York Moors National Park, England, focusing on the assessment of interventions, archetypes, approaches, challenges, and the delivery of ecosystem services.
Using archetype analysis, this study provides a uniform framework of NbS types in 31 projects carried out throughout the National Park. The results show schemes that encompass climate adaptation, community-based adaptation, ecosystem-based management, ecological restoration, natural resource management, and sustainable agriculture schemes. Five key approaches were identified, including connection to nature, ecological restoration, enhancement of water quality, fencing, and tree planting.

## Description of the data and file structure

#### **Dataset context**

The binary dataset represents the results of our analysis of 79 Nature-based Solutions (NbS) interventions identified across 31 projects. Each row corresponds to a specific project, while the columns represent 40 categorical variables derived from the threefold classification scheme established by Somarakis et al. (2019). Three categories group these variables: **approaches (A)**, **challenges (B)**, and **ecosystem services**, encompassing **provisioning services (C)**, **regulation and maintenance (D)**, and **cultural services (E)**.

#### **Binary values**

* **1**: Indicates the presence of a particular approach, challenge, or ecosystem service variable within the project or intervention.
* **0**: Indicates the absence of the va...
