Harnessing Citizen Science to Support Nature-Based Flood Management: A Case Study of Photo Post Engagement in the Limb Brook Catchment, Sheffield, UK.
Article in Environmental management, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Nature-based solutions (NBS) are increasingly promoted in climate adaptation strategies to mitigate flood risks and enhance ecosystem resilience. However, the monitoring and evaluation of such interventions remain a challenge due to resource limitations. This paper evaluates a citizen science-based monitoring approach in the Limb Brook catchment (Sheffield, UK), where public photo submissions were used to assess the effectiveness of NBS interventions such as leaky dams and attenuation ponds. Over a 26-month period, over 4500 photographs were collected from 15 fixed photo points. The analysis demonstrates high initial engagement, varied spatial interaction across sites, and the potential for real-time detection of intervention failures. We critically examine how public participation in environmental monitoring can support adaptive flood risk management while highlighting barriers related to data infrastructure, privacy regulations, and long-term community involvement. This study underscores the value of integrating citizen science into national and local policy frameworks for environmental governance.
