Urban greenness and hedonic dataset in Busan, South Korea

<p>This dataset is aggregated to investigate the association between green amenities and property prices in a metropolitan city. The provided data file contains a total of 52,644 observations with 27 variables, retrieved from the Korea Transport Database, Statistics Korea, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and the Spatial Information Portal. Specifically, the green index is quantified using a large amount of Google street view images, obtained from the download tool (https://svd360.istreetview.com). In this procedure, we carry out a three-step process and then employ the spatial interpolation method to alleviate the nonuniform distribution of source images. We encourage the reusability of our dataset and approaches used in this work by providing supplementary information including code files, which is available at Github (https://github.com/Quantitative-Finance-Lab/Green-Index).&nbsp;</p>

Water temperature and %O<sub>2</sub> were measured in-situ with VWR MU 6100H probe. pCO<sub>2</sub> was measured with a Li-Cor Li-840 infrared gas analyser (IRGA) based on the headspace technique with 4 polypropylene syringes (Borges et al., 2019). The Li-Cor 840 IRGA was calibrated before and after each cruise with ultrapure N<sub>2</sub> and a suite of gas standards (Air Liquide Belgium) with CO<sub>2</sub> mixing ratios of 388, 813, 3788 and 8300 ppm. The overall precision of pCO<sub>2</sub> measurements was &plusmn;2.0%.

The bubble traps consistent in inverted polypropylene funnels (diameter 23.5cm) mounted with 60mL polypropylene syringes and attached with steel rods to a polystyrene float. The volume of gas collected in the funnels was measured every 24 hours with 60mL syringes.

The precision of measurement based on duplicate samples was &plusmn;3.9% for CH<sub>4</sub> and &plusmn;3.2% for N<sub>2</sub>O.</p> <p>The &delta;<sup>13</sup>C-CH<sub>4</sub> was measured in gas of the headspace (20mL of synthetic air, Air Liquid Belgium) equilibrated with the water sample (total volume 60mL) for water samples and directly on gas stored in Exetainers for gas samples from the bubble traps. The gas samples were diluted to obtain a final partial pressure of CH<sub>4</sub> in the cavity below 10 ppm to fall within the recommended operational concentration range of the instrument, prior to injection into a cavity ring-down spectrometer (G2201-I, Isotopic Analyzer, Picarro) with a Small Sample Introduction Module 2 (SSIM, Picarro). Data were corrected with curves of &delta;<sup>13</sup>C-CH<sub>4</sub> as a function of concentration based on two gas standards from Airgas Specialty Gases with certified &delta;<sup>13</sup>C-CH<sub>4</sub> values of -23.9&plusmn;0.3 &permil; and -69.0&plusmn;0.3 &permil;.</p> <p><strong>Chlorophyll-a, total suspended matter, and dissolved inorganic nutrients</strong></p> <p>Water was filtered through Whatman GF/F glass microfiber filters (porosity 0.7 &micro;m) with a diameter of 47 mm for total suspended matter (TSM) and Chlorophyll-<em>a</em> (Chl-<em>a</em>). Filters for TSM were dried in the oven at 50C&deg; and filters for Chl-<em>a</em> were kept frozen (-20&deg;C). The weight of each filter was determined before and after filtration of a known volume of water using an Explorer&trade; Pro EP214C analytical microbalance (accuracy: &plusmn;0.1mg) for determination of TSM. Filtered water was stored in 50 mL plastic bottles and frozen (-20&deg;C) for analysis of dissolved nutrients. Chl-<em>a</em> was measured on extracts with 90% acetone by fluorimetry (Kontron model SFM 25) (Yentsch and Menzel, 1963) with a limit of detection of 0.01 &micro;g L<sup>-1</sup>.

Data for: Sun, Ogushi, Tseng -Lepidoptera species richness and community composition in urban street trees

<p>The triple threats of climate change, habitat loss, and environmental pollution have stimulated discussion on how urban areas can be modified to both mitigate heat increases and provide habitat for wildlife such as insects. The strategy of using trees to reduce temperatures has been adopted by numerous cities. However, the majority of street trees planted around the world are non-native. Studies conducted in non-urban areas have demonstrated in comparison to native plants, non-native plants are less likely to support native insect diversity. Here we use a database approach to quantify the number of native Lepidoptera species associated with 76 of the most common street tree species planted in Vancouver, Canada. We tested the prediction that compared to non-native trees, native street trees will support a higher diversity and unique community of native Lepidoptera. As predicted, native street trees were associated with five times as many native Lepidoptera species, and the Lepidoptera communities supported by native vs. non-native street trees were distinct. There was no difference in native Lepidoptera associations between broadleaf vs. coniferous street trees. These results are consistent with studies that have used active sampling techniques to investigate insect richness on a smaller subset of native and non-native tree species. Collectively, these data provide good evidence that the planting native instead of non-native trees will help stem the loss of insect diversity in urban areas.</p>

Data from: Impacts of organic matter amendments on urban soil carbon and soil quality: A meta-analysis

<p>Organic matter amendment application is an important avenue of beneficial waste diversion and is used to improve soil quality in agricultural and urban settings. In urban regions, amendments are used to support local food production, maintain vegetation for landscaping and recreational use, and reclaim disturbed soils. Urban regions generate large quantities of wasted organic resources for potential application aiding in creating a circular nutrient economy. There is a growing interest in understanding the effects of amendments such as compost, biosolids, and biochar on soil properties in agricultural settings. Gaps remain, however, in assessing their effects in urban land uses. We conducted a literature review to assess the effects of compost, biochar, and biosolids on soil carbon and soil quality of urban soils managed for gardening, landscaping, recreation, and reclamation. Application of organic matter amendments led to an average increase of 3.6 units of soil organic matter% (SOM%). Compost and biochar improved SOM% the most, by 3.1 and 6.5 units of SOM%, respectively. Biosolids resulted in the smallest increase in SOM% but had greater nutrient benefits than other amendments. Parameters related to chemical and physical soil quality improved with the application of amendments. Gaps in the literature remain, such as assessing urban gardens, soil to depths greater than 30 cm, and the persistence of SOM in amended soils. This meta-analysis proposes that organic matter amendments are a powerful means to improve soil quality in urban regions, provide vital cobenefits to surrounding communities, and increase soil carbon storage.</p>
