摘要: Abstract This study contributes to both the methodological and empirical literature by developing an integrative approach assessing temporal spatial change in riparian ecosystem service delivery drawing on available diverse data sets. These sets act as multiple lines of evidence supporting comparisons between test validity developed methods application such methods. In order synthesise these well determine fluctuations provision a scoring system was developed. Methodologically, proved informative across majority services categories, showing close 80% similarity outcomes when comparing method trends long-term water quality measurements. Other benefits included its design simplicity, cost-effectiveness, applicability replicability various urban settings. Empirically, used support findings exercise suggests that through time river reaches are linked land-use other human activities. Findings suggest leaves protected area travels transformed impacted landscapes, results poor diminished ability rivers yield further flows into setting. Urbanisation changes land-uses city contexts is therefore shown affect potential benefits, necessitating increasing management interventions.
