“…A further limitation of the method is that it focuses on the carbon sequestrated by the trees higher than 1.8 m in the study area, neglecting the contribution of little trees, shrubs [15], and lawns [4]. Despite these weaknesses, this paper contributes to developing methods for using data-informed and nature-based patterns that Convertino [43] highlights as essential for achieving optimal strategic decisions. Future development of our work will apply a life cycle assessment approach to this park and other city parks, considering all the vegetational components and defining the optimal planting, maintenance, and residue-converting strategies to refurbish the network of the city's urban parks and transform them into valuable sinks of carbon.…”

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a crucial challenge in urban areas characterized by high energy consumption and reduced exposure to nature. In this context, the urban green system could play a pivotal role. In the literature, scholars have analyzed both the ability of species-specific and layout-specific green infrastructure to increase carbon sequestration and the best location sites for new green infrastructure to increase the provision of overall ecosystem services. There is a lack of studies helping green urban planners and designers choose where and which green infrastructure to implement based on vegetation species-specific performance and the local carbon emissions of city components. This paper uses tree inventory data from a medium-sized city in central Italy (Perugia) to develop a spatial analysis of urban park performance in carbon sequestration. Then, the method evaluates the carbon emission of a public city building to generate a spatialized balance between building demand and tree supply to support local decisions about the best locations for new green infrastructure and the choice between species. The paper contributes to GIS-based tools that vary the recommended location sites and species for new green infrastructure based on the demanded ecosystem service.

Reducing GHG emissions is a crucial challenge in urban areas, characterized by high energy consumption and reduced exposure to nature. In this context, the urban green system could play a pivotal role. In the literature, scholars analyzed both the ability of species-specific and layout-specific green infrastructures to increase carbon sequestration and the best location sites of new green infrastructures, to increase the provision of overall ecosystem services. There is a lack of studies helping green urban planners and designers choose where and which green infrastructure to implement, based on vegetation species-specific performance and local carbon emissions of city components. This paper uses tree inventory data from a medium-sized city in central Italy (Perugia) to develop a spatial analysis of the urban parks' performance in carbon sequestration. Then, the method evaluates the carbon emission of a public city building to generate a spatialized balance between buildings’ demand and trees’ supply, to support local decisions about the best locations for new green infrastructures and the choice between species. The paper contributes to GIS-based tools that vary the recommended location sites and species for new green infrastructures based on the demanded ecosystem service.

Sensing Linked Cues for Ecosystem Risk and Decisions

Abstract: Ecological indicators of ecosystem anomalies are fundamentally important to sensing how close we are to slow or catastrophic ecosystem shifts and to targeting systemic controls for preservation, restoration and eco-based development [...]
