“…Biodiversity: SUDS produce a significant effect of treatment on several habitat and water quality parameters [24]. They sometimes provide a biodiversity similar to the natural one [155,208,209,254], but the habitats created in these infrastructures are highly conditioned by the anthropic presence [205,250,251], which can influence the biota present in the environment [158,252,253] Regulation Services. Climate Change and thermal control: Large surface water storage SUDS have a warming effect [158,255] on their immediate surroundings and can sometimes emit greenhouse gases [211] Regulation Services.…”

Urban green infrastructure such as sustainable urban drainage systems are potential providers of ecosystem services. This paper reviews the field studies that empirically verify the potential benefits of SUDS. The cultural, provisioning, supporting, and regulating ecosystem services investigated in real cases have been studied and classified according to climatology (except for the control of urban hydrology, which has been widely corroborated). Although successful cases of runoff decontamination are numerous, there is heterogeneity in the results of the systems beyond those associated with climatic differences. The other ecosystem services have not been as widely studied, giving very variable and even negative results in some cases such as climate change control (in some instances, these techniques can emit greenhouse gases). Installations in temperate climates are, by far, the most studied. These services derive from the biological processes developed in green infrastructure and they depend on climate, so it would be advisable to carry out specific studies that could serve as the basis for a design that optimizes potential ecosystem services, avoiding possible disservices.

Wetlands are a critical part of natural environments that offer a wide range of ecosystem services. In urban areas, wetlands contribute to the livability of cities through improving the water quality, carbon sequestration, providing habitats for wildlife species, reducing the effects of urban heat islands, and creating recreation opportunities. However, maintaining wetlands in urban areas faces many challenges, such as the reduction of hydrological functions, changed water regimes due to barriers, contamination by wastewater, habitat loss due to land-use change, and loss of biodiversity due to the entry of alien species. In this article, we review the theoretical background of wetlands in urban areas through the existing studies in the literature. We provide knowledge on urban wetlands and highlight the benefits of these wetlands in urban areas. These benefits include sustainability, biodiversity, urban heat islands, social perception, and recreation values. We also summarize the objectives, methodologies, and findings of the reviewed articles in five tables. In addition, we summarize the critical research gaps addressed in the reviewed articles. Our review study addresses the research gaps by performing a rigorous analysis to identify significant open research challenges, showing the path toward future research in the field. We further discuss and highlight the role of policymakers and stakeholders in preserving wetlands and finally present our conclusions.

“…The natural uctuations in water levels of interconnected lakes give rise to a series of lake wetlands in their surroundings, providing numerous ecosystem services such as ood regulation and environmental puri cation (Byeon & Nam, 2020;Wu & Zheng, 2020). Over the past decades, various natural wetlands globally have been facing a shrinking crisis, the degradation of ood plain wetland and lake wetland may be more serious (Fluet-Chouinard et al, 2023).…”

The Dongting Lake (DTL) area constitutes a naturally interconnected lake wetland. Alterations in river-lake relationships are poised to profoundly modify the ecological condition of lake region. This study aims to investigate the co-evolutionary attributes and ecological response mechanisms involving the Yangtze River, the Four Rivers within the DTL basin (DFR), and DTL itself during extreme hydrological events. Amidst the trajectory of wetland contraction, the impact of shifts in river-lake relationships on the wetland's state remains unclear. Thus, we employ cross-wavelet transformation and the multifractal method to establish a framework for co-evolution between rivers and lake. Through this framework, we analyze the varying progression of hydrological relationships within the river-lake system and their corresponding responses. The findings reveal that instances of low-water events in DTL predominantly manifest during winter and spring. These low-water events exhibit a propensity to occur frequently and irregularly, except during July-August, coinciding with the Yangtze River's flood regulation period. Additionally, the DFR-DTL system demonstrates a wider periodicity and more pronounced positive continuity, serving as the principal impetus behind the ecological evolution of DTL. Simultaneously, alterations in the inundation status across DTL regions display an ascending trend from west to east. The predominant influence of the Yuan River and the Yangtze River leads to the majority of water degradation areas being concentrated in the western DTL region, where sedimentation is particularly severe. The changes in river-lake relationships showcase substantial variability and exert distinct impacts on DTL's hydrological evolution through a range of confluence regions.
