Getting the message right on nature‐based solutions to climate change

Global Change Biology, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 27(8), С. 1518 - 1546

Abstract Nature‐based solutions (NbS)—solutions to societal challenges that involve working with nature—have recently gained popularity as an integrated approach can address climate change and biodiversity loss, while supporting sustainable development. Although well‐designed NbS deliver multiple benefits for people nature, much of the recent limelight has been on tree planting carbon sequestration. There are serious concerns this is distracting from need rapidly phase out use fossil fuels protect existing intact ecosystems. also expansion forestry framed a mitigation solution coming at cost rich biodiverse native ecosystems local resource rights. Here, we discuss promise pitfalls framing its current political traction, present recommendations how get message right. We urge policymakers, practitioners researchers consider synergies trade‐offs associated follow four guiding principles enable provide society: (1) not substitute rapid fuels; (2) wide range land in sea, just forests; (3) implemented full engagement consent Indigenous Peoples communities way respects their cultural ecological rights; (4) should be explicitly designed measurable biodiversity. Only by following these guidelines will design robust resilient urgent sustaining nature together, now into future.

Street view imagery in urban analytics and GIS: A review

Landscape and Urban Planning, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 215, С. 104217 - 104217

Опубликована: Авг. 13, 2021

Street view imagery has rapidly ascended as an important data source for geospatial collection and urban analytics, deriving insights supporting informed decisions. Such surge been mainly catalysed by the proliferation of large-scale platforms, advances in computer vision machine learning, availability computing resources. We screened more than 600 recent papers to provide a comprehensive systematic review state art how street-level is currently used studies pertaining built environment. The main findings are that: (i) street now clearly entrenched component analytics GIScience; (ii) most research relies on from Google View; (iii) it across myriads domains with numerous applications – ranging analysing vegetation transportation health socio-economic studies. A notable trend crowdsourced imagery, facilitated services such Mapillary KartaView, some cases furthering geographical coverage temporal granularity, at permissive licence.

Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) modeling supporting decision-making: A systematic quantitative review

The Science of The Total Environment, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 806, С. 150447 - 150447

Опубликована: Сен. 27, 2021

Decision Support Systems (DSS) for Sustainable Urban Drainage (SUDS) are a valuable aid SUDS widespread adoption. These tools systematize the decision-making criteria and eliminate bias inherent to expert judgment, abridging technical aspect of non-technical users decision-makers. Through collection careful assessment 120 papers on models SUDS-DSS, this review shows how these built, selected, used assist decision-makers questions. The manuscript classifies DSS based question they in answering, spatial scale used, software among other aspects. SUDS-DSS aspects that require more attention identified, including environmental social considerations, trains performance selection, stochasticity rainfall, future scenarios impact. Suggestions finally offered better equip facing emerging stormwater challenges urban centers.

Designing urban green spaces for climate adaptation: A critical review of research outputs

Urban Climate, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 42, С. 101126 - 101126

Опубликована: Фев. 22, 2022

Urban green spaces provide important contributions to enhance climate adaptation, and therefore research in this area has increased exponentially the last decades. While several studies showed that morphology type of living built elements urban greatly affect their performance, a persistent gap between theory practice continues pervade design spaces. This study conducts semi-systematic review published decade investigate what extent recent produced evidence-based outputs relevant practitioners concerning outdoor context adaptation. An innovative design-oriented approach is subsequently applied critically considering comprehensive spectrum impacts adaptation measures. Our specific objectives are to: i) identify relevance according climatic impact; ii) assess level geographical transferability such support spaces; iii) key challenges might hinder implementation guidelines. results call align confront 'wicked' scientific practice.

Ecological Indicators, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 148, С. 110058 - 110058

Опубликована: Март 1, 2023

In China, regional green spaces (RGSs) are outside urban built-up areas and have a wide distribution, large scale, outstanding ecological function. RGSs become increasingly important as clusters expand increase in number. However, studies on rare it remains unclear what drives their distribution the context of rapid urbanization. This study used integrated approaches to explore driving factors Nanjing metropolitan area (NMA) between 2000 2020, using Landsat image data. Spatiotemporal variations were obtained net change rate index standard deviational ellipse. The identified Pearson correlation, ordinary least squares (OLS), geographically weighted regression (GWR). We found that: (1) More south NMA, less north region. A "V" pattern was observed, with substantial losses shifting from Yangtze River coastline hilly mountainous regions 2020.

Integrating pattern, process, and function in urban landscape ecological network planning: A case study of Harbin central city

Ecological Indicators, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 159, С. 111671 - 111671

Опубликована: Фев. 1, 2024

Scientific planning of landscape ecological networks can promote the overall improvement urban ecosystems, but current basis on single index and simple network extraction is not enough to support sustainable development. Comprehensively understanding mechanism ecosystem operation, this study firstly constructed an health (LEH) assessment model integrating pattern, process, function. Taking Harbin central city as area, conducting a LEH practical provide scientific for its planning. Secondly, principal component analysis (PCA), minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) model, hydrological were applied extract network. Finally, introducing complex theory optimize determine key nodes. The results indicated that (1) decreased from 0.481 0.446 2011 2020, with significant spatial differentiation. (2) 50 source landscapes 8 sink identified, fewer corridors, source-type nodes 28 weak-type selected. (3) Based LDF strategy theory, there 14 additional connectivity resilience greatly enhanced, eight identified. (4) plan presented pattern consisting "three rings, four pieces, cores, multiple corridors", which maintain development ecosystem. In addition, aims propose more efficient framework new ideas construction areas, are most profoundly urbanized in world.
