“…A number of articles devoted to the evaluation of urban ESs have been published recently, assessing the full range of ESs (see refs. [9][10][11][12][13][14]). On the other hand, Marando et al [15] focused on climate regulation, Davies et al [16] developed an expert method for mapping carbon storage, and Baró et al [17] studied bundles of ESs in an urban-rural gradient.…”

“…While culture ESs are mostly assessed using sociocultural methods [19], regulation and supporting ESs assessment mostly involve biophysical/indicator-based methods which is also recommended by European Commission [20] and used by many authors (see refs.

“…As suggested in the recent IPBES document [94], ecosystem uptake of greenhouse gasses is an appropriate indicator of climate regulation services; carbon storage was also used by ref. [14,16], while carbon sequestration or carbon production was used by ref. [10,11,13,95].…”

Assessment and Spatial Distribution of Urban Ecosystem Functions Applied in Two Czech Cities

As urban areas expand worldwide, the importance of ecosystem services provided by urban and peri-urban areas (ESs) increases, especially those that mitigate the effects of ongoing climate change. We present a relatively simple method to assess the performance of three ecosystem functions (EFs: evapotranspiration, carbon production, and habitat- and landscape-level biodiversity) in urban and peri-urban areas, indicating their capacity to provide relevant regulative ESs. The method was applied to two Czech foothill cities, Liberec and Děčín, and the results showed that the EFs of both cities were at comparable or even higher levels than the average values for the whole Czech Republic. The peri-urban area showed surprisingly high values for all EFs and habitat connectivity. The urban–rural gradient of EFs also showed higher values for EFs in the peri-urban area than in the adjacent rural (forest and agricultural) landscape. The method can serve as a useful tool to quickly identify valuable urban habitats (strong ESs providers) to support their protection or to identify places with low functional values that should be considered and sorted in urban adaptation strategies to global climate change to support the creation of functional green infrastructure.
