Can we model cultural ecosystem services, and are we measuring the right things?

Laurence Jones et al.

Summary: Cultural ecosystem services pose a challenge in decision making due to difficulties in defining and describing them. The study introduces a framework involving cultural capital, social capital, and human capital to understand CES, which was found to be applicable in specific situations. Further research is needed to develop metrics to measure additional factors influencing peoples' motivations to engage with nature.

Why scale is vital to plan optimal Nature-Based Solutions for resilient cities

M. G. Hutchins et al.

Summary: In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the need for multi-functional assessment tools that evaluate trade-offs and co-benefits for various types of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS). These tools aim to identify optimal NBS placement across a diverse set of socio-environmental indicators, taking into account issues of relative location of areas of implementation and benefit accrual. It is crucial for these tools to quantify scale-dependence in order to effectively evaluate the outcomes of NBS.

Achieving tree canopy cover targets: A case study of Bristol, UK

Max Walters et al.

Summary: Many cities are increasing urban canopy cover to mitigate the impacts of urbanisation and climate change. Bristol recently published a One City Plan with a target to double tree canopy cover by 2045. This study found that planting 18,000 large trees per year is the most feasible scenario to achieve this target effectively, highlighting the importance of tree size and planting rate in urban forest management.

Using demand mapping to assess the benefits of urban green and blue space in cities from four continents

David H. Fletcher et al.

Summary: The study assessed urban green and blue infrastructure (UGI) in five cities from four continents and found that despite similar overall levels of UGI, the amount of service provided varied significantly between cities. The spatial patterns of pressure, ecosystem service, and beneficiaries within a city do not necessarily match, which has implications for planning optimal locations for UGI.

Location matters. A systematic review of spatial contextual factors mediating ecosystem services of urban trees

Zofie Cimburova et al.

Summary: Strategic tree planting is crucial to ensure and maintain ecosystem service delivery in densifying cities. This study provides a comprehensive overview of 114 unique spatial contextual factors mediating 31 ecosystem services of urban trees. People, through physical location, socio-demographics, or building functions, are found to mediate the highest number of services, emphasizing the significance of urban planning and design in mediating urban tree ecosystem services.

Whose Urban Green? Mapping and Classifying Public and Private Green Spaces in Padua for Spatial Planning Policies

Guglielmo Pristeri et al.

Summary: In the context of urban green spaces management, incorporating private green spaces is a promising approach. A study in Padua revealed that over half of the green spaces are rural, with private green spaces accounting for 80% of the total.
