“…For example, dark coloured soils absorb more solar energy compared to lighter coloured soils, thus increasing their soil temperature (T s ) (Stapleton et al, 2000). We emphasise the importance of pedoclimatic surveys (Dagois et al, 2017;Oberholzer et al, 2017), considering soil formation and evolution under different climatic conditions, or stationary situations, in order to shed light on when the stakeholders should use solarisation technology.…”

“…Urban soils, as natural and man-made resources, contribute significantly to fundamental ecosystem services for sustainability (e.g., air quality, water management, climate regulation, food production) (Pereira et al 2018). A large number of studies on the relationship between urban soils and soil services (e.g., provisioning, regulation) have been carried out in the last decades (among others, Craul 1992;Morel et al 2005;Kumar and Hundal 2016;Joimel et al 2016;Levin et al 2017). Several frameworks for the valuation of soil ecosystem services have been developed (Hewitt et al 2015).…”

“…Urban soils are considered differently depending on the community. For example, the soil science community views urban soils as a man-made mixture of materials differing from agricultural or forest ones (Craul 1992) and capable of providing ecosystem services (Morel et al 2015). From NBS community perspective, urban soils are described as a delineated surface area fulfilling a regulatory role (e.g., carbon sequestration) (Dicks et al 2017;Raymond et al 2017;Watt et al 2019).…”

Purpose In urban areas, soil functions are deeply impacted by all human activities, e.g., water infiltration, carbon storage, and chemical substances degradation potential. In this context, nature-based solutions (NBS) are assumed to deliver multiple environmental benefits for soil quality improvement. The H2020 Nature4Cities project (N4C) offers the framework to develop physical, chemical, and microbiological indicators to the performance assessment for addressing NBS soil quality (performance assessment of soil quality) to be included in a toolbox designed for architects or municipalities. Materials and methods A simplified performance assessment methodology was developed for addressing NBS soil quality. It is based on the comparison of physical, chemical, and biological characteristics to soil reference baseline. In this setting, we present here the results obtained from case studies selected in three European cities (Nantes (F), Nancy (F), Bustehrad (CR)) to test the methodology. The case studies correspond to three different NBSs: former market turned into gardening areas (FMG), green roofs (GR), and urban allotment gardens (UAG). The performance assessment was based on two criteria: (1) soil fertility and (2) soil contamination. Results and discussion The basic soil properties (e.g., pH, bulk density) and soil fertility (e.g., soil organic matter (SOM)) for the two open soil NBS (FMG and UAGs) are equivalent to cultivated soils. Those of GR are highly controlled by the type of natural materials used in the substrate. Concerning contamination, the soil quality of FMG was shown to be significantly impacted by former agricultural practices (pesticide residues, trace metals (TE)). Measured molecular biomass of FMG was compared with

“…They observed that the replacement of pavement materials reduces the radiant temperature of the surface. Considering the anthropogenic nature of its soil layers, a GPL can be considered as an urban soil or Technosol [16]. Pervious GPL systems included porous layers that retain water.…”

Green infrastructure has a role to play in climate change adaptation strategies in cities. Alternative urban spaces should be designed considering new requirements in terms of urban microclimate and thermal comfort. Pervious pavements such as green parking lots can contribute to this goal through solar evaporative cooling. However, the cooling benefits of such systems remain under debate during dry and warm periods. The aim of this study was to compare experimentally the thermal behavior of different parking lot types (PLTs) with vegetated urban soil. Four parking lots were instrumented, with temperature probes buried at different depths. Underground temperatures were measured during summer 2019, and the hottest days of the period were analyzed. Results show that the less mineral used in the surface coating, the less it warms up. The temperature difference at the upper layer can reach 10 °C between mineral and non-mineral PLTs. PLTs can be grouped into three types: (i) high surface temperature during daytime and nighttime, important heat transfer toward the sublayers, and low time shift (asphalt system); (ii) high (resp. low) surface temperature during daytime (resp. nighttime), weak heat transfer toward the sublayers, and important time shift (paved stone system); and (iii) low surface temperature during daytime and nighttime, weak heat transfer toward the sublayers, and important time shift (vegetation and substrate system, wood chips system, vegetated urban soil). The results of this study underline that pervious pavements demonstrate thermal benefits under warm and dry summer conditions compared to conventional parking lot solutions. The results also indicate that the hygrothermal properties of urban materials are crucial for urban heat island mitigation.
