Table 3 ES indicators quantified by i-Tree Eco and ES index considered in the assessment of public canopy.
From: Luxury and legacy effects on urban biodiversity, vegetation cover and ecosystem services
Ecosystem services (ES) | Indicator | Units |
|---|---|---|
Temperature regulation | Transpiration | m3/ha/year |
Runoff control | Avoided runoff | m3/ha/year |
Air purification | Pollution removal is the sum of the removal rates: O3 NO2 CO SO2 PM2.5 | kg/ha/year |
Carbon sequestration | Carbon storage | ton/ha |
Urban ES Index | The scaled sum of the four combined indicators | 0 to 100 |
