Urban Greenspace Distribution and their Eco-Service Valuation Evaluation for Yangtze River Delta

Article Preview

Abstract:

Urban greenspace is of the key importance to mitigate negatively environmental effects and balance urban ecology. This article got statistics and distributions of urban greenspaces for China’s Yangtze River Delta by interpolating remote sensing imageries obtained in 2008 and 2009. Then, based on the greenspace statistics and regional characteristics, the eco-service valuation of the urban greenspaces were evaluated using empirical parameters and model. Among 18 types of eco-service statistics in this region, 7 types of them including SO2 absorb, CO2 sequestration and O2 release, microclimate regulation, dust reduction, noise mitigation and sterilization, biodiversity maintain and cultural service were main eco-service functions.
