Identifying the mechanisms by which irrigation can cool urban green spaces in summer

<p>This dataset contains the measured soil moisture and microclimate data from two (2021 and 2022) urban green space irrigation experiments conducted in Burnley, Melbourne, Australia. The experiments consisted of two treatments, irrigated turf and unirrigated turf. The purpose of the experiments was to provide testing (2021) and evaluation (2022) data for an urban ecohydrological model, UT&amp;C.&nbsp;</p> <p><br>After evaluating the performance of UT&amp;C in modelling soil moisture and microclimate, UT&amp;C was used to model the surface energy balance and evapotranspiration processes of the irrigated and unirrigated turf. This dataset also contains the modelled soil moisture, microclimate, surface energy balance and evapotranspiration data, as well as the measured background climate data at the reference climate station and the forcing data for the model.</p> <p><br>The aims of this study were to:<br>i) identify the proportional contribution of different evapotranspiration processes to irrigation cooling effect, and&nbsp;<br>ii) quantify the impacts of different irrigation amounts (from 2 to 30 mm/d) on the cooling effect of irrigating turfgrass in Melbourne, Australia during normal summer conditions.</p> <p>This study was published in:<br>Pui Kwan Cheung, Naika Meili, Kerry A.

Urban pluvial flood maps under different green cover scenarios

<p>This dataset provides pluvial flood water depth maps for the cities of Logro&ntilde;o, Spain; Gdynia, Poland; Milan Italy; and Athens Greece as a part of the REACHOUT project. The maps are generated using a Pluvial Flood Tool for different return periods estimated based on observations and EURO-CORDEX future climate change scenarios (Logro&ntilde;o only) under different nature-based green cover scenarios, depending on the city.</p> <p>Technical Info</p> <p>The pluvial flood hazard maps are generated for each event using rainfall intensity as input for the hydrostatic inundation model SaferRAIN (Samela et al., 2020). This is a simplified raster-based model based on a hierarchical filling and spilling algorithm, identifying inundated areas on the basis of high-resolution digital elevation model. It accounts for spatially distributed rainfall input and infiltration, building upon the pixel-based Green-Ampt model (Green and Ampt, 1911). It is suitable for applications over large urban areas.</p> <p>Rainfall input for the pluvial flood model is computed for return periods (RPs) of 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, 200-years based on the historical rainfall data. Different datasets have been utilized in various cities to tailor the analysis to their specific needs. More specifically:</p> <ul> <li> <p>In the city of Gdynia, historical local station data (Climate data IMGW 1960-2021: https://danepubliczne.imgw.pl/) are used to estimate RPs and assess different precipitation events.&nbsp;</p> </li> </ul> <ul> <li> <p>For the cities of Milan and Athens, 2.2-km ERA5 downscaled data are employed to assess historical precipitation events under different RPs (Essenfelder et al., 2021).&nbsp;</p> </li> <li> <p>In the city of Logro&ntilde;o, historical local station data (SOS-Logro&ntilde;o precipitation data 1999-2022: https://www.larioja.org/emergencias-112/es/meteorologia/datos-actuales-rioja/detalle-estacion?homepage=9&amp;cod_muni=89) are used to estimate RPs and assess different precipitation events. Additionally, here, future climate change projections have been analyzed. These projections are based on the precipitation Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves computed from the EURO-CORDEX data (Pal J et al., 2024 - <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14035736" target="_blank" rel="noopener">10.5281/zenodo.14035736</a>). Observations are then scaled according to the changes simulated between future and historical scenarios, using the median and 90th percentile values estimated from the EURO-CORDEX ensemble.</p> </li> </ul> <p>Different urban green cover maps are used as input for the model to simulate the pluvial flood maps under the current land cover conditions and for different nature-based adaptation scenarios for each city to estimate their benefits. Nature-based adaptation scenarios are the result of codesign processes carried out within REACHOUT, involving local stakeholders, experts and representatives of local administrations. Urban green cover scenarios were identified based on areas that could be converted from built-up areas and concrete surfaces (no water infiltration) to green areas allowing for rainwater infiltration. In addition, during this process, local station precipitation, high-resolution digital elevation model and high-resolution land cover data were collected to configure and run the pluvial flood model.</p> <p>Short description of the datase:</p> <p>This dataset contains urban pluvial flood maps for return periods of 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, 200-years for hourly and 15-minute events for different urban green cover scenarios and climate change scenarios depending on the city.</p> <p>Format:</p> <p>The format of this dataset is organized in a ZIP file: PluvialFloodMap_{Cityname}.zip.

Data on different types of green spaces and their accessibility in the seven largest urban regions in Finland

<p>This repository contains data described in the&nbsp;article &quot;Data on different types of green spaces and their accessibility in the seven largest urban regions in Finland&quot; (Heikinheimo et al. 2023) and used in the research article &quot;Associations of neighborhood-level socioeconomic status, accessibility, and quality of green spaces in Finnish urban regions&quot; (Viinikka et al. 2023).&nbsp;<br> <br> This repository contains data on green space quality and path distances to different types of green spaces. The path distances represent green space accessibility using active travel modes (walking, cycling). The path distances were calculated using the pedestrian street network across the seven largest urban regions in Finland. We derived the green space typology from the Urban Atlas Data that is available across functional urban areas in Europe and enhanced it with national data on water bodies, conservation areas and recreational facilities and routes from Finland. We extracted the walkable street network from OpenStreetMap and calculated shortest paths to different types of green spaces using open-source Python programming tools. Network distances were calculated up to ten kilometers from each green space edge and the distances were aggregated into a 250 m x 250 m statistical grid that is interoperable with various statistical data from Finland. The geospatial data files representing the different types of green spaces, network distances across the seven urban regions, as well as the processing and analysis scripts are shared in an open repository. These data offer actionable information about green space accessibility in Finnish city regions and support the integration of green space quality and active travel modes into further research and planning activities.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Data description article:&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>Heikinheimo, V., Tiitu, M., &amp; Viinikka, A.

Survey data on behaviours and attitudes towards green food consumption of participants of the SmartFood Urban Living Lab in Warsaw, Poland

<p>In this dataset, we present raw data of a survey on behaviours and attitudes towards green food consumption, conducted between June 2023 and April 2024 among a group of 21 households from Warsaw, participating in a SmartFood Urban Living Lab (ULL). The dataset is complemented with results collected from two control groups. The SmartFood Urban Living Lab was an intervention aimed at providing residents of urban blocks of flats with a novel technology for growing their own food. The ULL served as an experimental ground for testing and refining innovations such as hydroponic cabins, rainwater management systems, solar energy systems, and insect farming units. Residents actively participated in the lab, providing valuable insights into the practical challenges and benefits of urban farming, which helped refine and adapt the technologies for broader application. After each month of the intervention, a survey was conducted to check participants' behaviours and attitudes towards green food consumption</p>

Large positive ecological changes of small urban greening actions

<p><strong>Updated data and R codes associated with our article&nbsp;<em>Large positive ecological changes of small urban greening actions</em>:</strong></p> <p><strong>Ecological Solutions and Evidence</strong></p> <p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>The detrimental effects of human-induced environmental change on people and other species are acutely manifested in urban environments. While urban greenspaces are known to mitigate these effects and support functionally diverse ecological communities, evidence of the ecological outcomes of urban greening remains scarce. We use a longitudinal observational design to provide empirical evidence of the ecological benefits of greening actions. We show how a small greening action quickly led to large positive changes in the richness, demographic dynamics, and network structure of a depauperate insect community. We demonstrate how large ecological benefits may be derived from investing in small greening actions and how these contribute to bring indigenous species back to greenspaces where they have become rare or locally extinct. Our findings provide crucial evidence that support best practice in greenspace design and contribute to re-invigorate policies aimed at mitigating the negative impacts of urbanisation on people and other species.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Data from: A place-based participatory mapping approach for assessing cultural ecosystem services in urban green space

1. Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) encompass a range of social, cultural and health benefits to local communities, for example recreation, spirituality, a sense of place and local identity. However, these complex and place-specific CES are often overlooked in rapid land management decisions and assessed using broad, top–down approaches. 2. We use the Toolkit for Ecosystem Service Site-based Assessment (TESSA) to examine a novel approach to rapid assessment of local CES provision using inductive, participatory methods. We combined free-listing and participatory geographic information systems (GIS) techniques to quantify and map perceptions of current CES provision of an urban green space. The results were then statistically compared with those of a proposed alternative scenario with the aim to inform future decision-making. 3. By identifying changes in the spatial hotspots of CES in our study area, we revealed a spatially-specific shift toward positive sentiment regarding several CES under the alternative state with variance across demographic and stakeholder groups. Response aggregations in areas of proposed development reveal previously unknown stakeholder preferences to local decision-makers and highlight potential trade-offs for conservation management. Free-listed responses revealed deeper insight into personal opinion and context. 4. This work serves as a useful case study on how the perceptions and opinions of local people regarding local CES could be accounted for in the future planning of an urban greenspace and how thorough analysis of CES provision is important to fully-inform local-scale conservation and planning for the mutual benefit of local communities and nature.
