Urban and peri‑urban ecosystems are subjected to an intense impact. The demand for ecosystem services (ES) is higher in these areas. Nevertheless, despite the anthropogenic pressures, urban supply important ES. Mapping a crucial exercise understand ES dynamics environments better. This work aims systematically review mapping areas studies, following Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-alpha Methods. A total of 207 studies were selected. results show increased between 2011 2023, mainly conducted Europe China. Most developed did not follow established classification. focused on dimension, regulation maintenance section. Regarding provisioning ES, most Cultivating terrestrial plants nutrition, regulating maintaining Atmospheric composition conditions, cultural Physical experiential interactions with natural environment. Quantitative methods mostly applied Indicator-based (secondary data: biophysical, socio-economic) models. Very few validated outputs. Several forecasted primarily based land use changes using CA-Markov approaches. study provides overview mapped globally, where more need be conducted, developed.

The benefits of ecosystem services provided by urban green systems have been highlighted in research on spatial and landscape planning, the need has emerged for an integrated approach to planning aiming at increasing climate mitigation resilience. Research indicates that plant selection substrate management are vital optimizing most important performance roofs, like building thermal insulation, heat reduction, air quality improvement, stormwater management. In Mediterranean climates, it is essential investigate sustainable solutions roofs growth potential native, low-maintenance forbs adapted water stress specific substrates. Medicinal species may be suitable, interactions with pollutants controlled. This study evaluates Melissa officinalis Hypericum perforatum experimental roof modules under controlled conditions, comparing chemical fertilization three different treatments biomass from Trifolium repens used as manure. key metrics fresh dry biomass, cover ratio, chlorophyll content measured. Results show significantly higher values these two treated manure comparison fertilization, no significant differences content, indicating T. a useful source Overall, results consistent goals suggesting management, since vegetation contribute elimination chemicals green.

Land Use Changes and Sustainable Development Goals Alignment Through Assessing Ecosystem Service Supply and Demand Balance

Land Degradation and Development, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 26, 2025

ABSTRACT Ecosystem service quality is closely linked to human well‐being, and sustainable provision of ecosystem essential for ensuring regional ecological security achieving sustainability goals. An innovative valuation framework introduced that combines land use/cover change (LUCC) analysis, supply demand matrices Gini coefficient calculations assess the services (ES‐S ES‐D). Unlike traditional static methods, this approach captures intricate spatial temporal mismatches, offering new insights into impacts LUCC on ES balance within development goals (SDGs). Taking Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA) as a case study, findings indicate significant decrease in cultivated land, accompanied by expansion forest built‐up area, driven farmland‐to‐forest policies urbanization. These shifts have improved provisioning supporting but also intensified disparities, particularly Chongqing, where outpaces supply. Furthermore, altered capacity ecosystems TGRA provide services, such soil retention water regulation, thereby progress toward SDGs related sustainability. However, imbalances cultural persist, highlighting need targeted management strategies optimize support This study underscores importance ongoing ES‐S ES‐D assessments inform ecologically sensitive areas like TGRA.

Green Infrastructure and Adaptation to Climate Change in Marginal Areas: A Reference Scheme for Implementation Guidelines in Italy

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(19), С. 8641 - 8641

Опубликована: Окт. 6, 2024

Marginal areas (MAs) can show scarce disaster resilience in the context of climate change. Proactive adaptation to change (ACC) based on green infrastructure (GI) has potential increase MAs. The scientific literature scarcely addressed research methods and guidelines for promoting ACC GI No previous focused a method set reference scheme implementation concerning use as an approach deal with effects changing Italian In this regard, study aims provide planners public administrations appropriate foster mainstreaming into planning To do so, we proposed applied methodological consisting scrutiny grey purpose distilling key elements (KEs) that need be considered guidelines. As main findings, identified ten KEs relevant drafting integrating tools, e.g., clear definition GI, participative approaches, public–private cooperation, others, will tested ongoing research.
