Towards an integrative approach to evaluate the environmental ecosystem services provided by urban forests

Original language description

As a Nature-Based Solution, urban forests deliver a number of environmental ecosystem services or EESs. To quantify these EESs, well-defined, reliable, quantifiable and stable indicators are needed. With literature analysis and expert knowledge gathered within COST Action FP1204 GreenInUrbs, we proposed a classification of urban forest EESs into three categories: regulation of air, water, soil and climate, provisioning of habitat quality, and provisioning of other goods and services. Each category is divided into EES types. Amelioration of air quality, restoration of soil and water, amelioration of the microclimate, removal of CO2 from the air, provision of habitat for biodiversity, support for resilient urban ecosystems, provision of genetic diversity, and provision of energy and nutrients, provision of grey infrastructure resilience. Each EES type provides one or more benefits. For each of these twelve benefits, we propose a set of indicators to be used when analyzing the impacts on the identified
