Urban Environments

Ecosystem services important to urban environments
• Aesthetics• Recreation• Spiritual• Genetic/ Biodiversity Conservation• Air Quality• Noise Buffering• Climate• Pollination• Water Flow Regulation

Valuing Ecosystem Services in Non-Economic Terms
Recreation Recreation potential (number of opportunities available in public and private space).
Genetic / Biodiversity Conservation
Biodiversity potential (Shannon-Weiner Index)
Air Quality Carbon sequestration (Tonnes of carbon sequestration acre-1year-1 = 0.00335[%tree cover])
Noise Buffering Assess if noise is a problem and whether physical attempts have been made to buffer noise.

Valuing Ecosystem Services in Non-Economic Terms
Climate Climate change adaptation and mitigation (assess measures implemented to adapt and mitigate)
Pollination Pollination potential (abundance and diversity of flowering plants)
Water Flow Regulation Maximum potential rainfall retention(S = 2540/CN – 25.4)
