REVIEW: Quantifying urban ecosystem services based on high‐resolution data of urban green space: an assessment for Rotterdam, the Netherlands

Summary The urban dimension of ecosystem services ( ES ) is underexposed, while the importance of ES for human well‐being is nowhere as evident as in cities. Urban challenges such as air pollution, noise and heat can be moderated by urban green space ( UGS ), simultaneously providing multiple other services. However, available methods to quantify ES cannot typically deal with the high spatial and thematic resolution land cover data that are needed to better understand ES supply in the urban context. This study derives methods to quantify and map a bundle of six ES as supplied by UGS , using la... Mehr ...
