Linking hydrological and bioecological benefits of green infrastructures across spatial scales - A literature review.

摘要: Green infrastructure (GI) mitigates the negative effects of urbanization and provides hydrological bioecological benefits. However, these benefits are highly scale-dependent because processes involved vary at different spatial scales; there thus additional challenges in GI planning when multiple targeted. Therefore, it is necessary to review summarize theoretical understandings practical experience obtained from previous studies projects related practices. In this review, we elaborate conceptual linkages between practices across scales. Smaller-scale lay foundation for larger-scale Hydrological drive by providing consistent water flows maintaining a suitable soil environment. Bioecological turn enhance increasing uptake filtration via more active biological processes. We next study area sizes existing categorize them according their approaches targeted The that make use laboratory experiments, numerical modeling, remote sensing have increased recent years greatly each type study; size was larger than quality research gap catchment scale. Furthermore, major topics findings conclude with recommendations future research, which include performing scale, developing hydro-bioecological statistical relationships simplify quantification benefits, databases document
