  1. 16. A valuation of ecosystem services from blue-green infrastructure for stormwater management

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sofia Anderzon; [2021]
    Keywords : Stormwater; blue-green infrastructure; urban ecosystem services; indicators; semi-quantitative valuation; Dagvatten; dagvattenhantering; blågrön infrastruktur; urbana ekosystemtjänster; indikatorer; semi-kvantitativ värdering;

    Abstract : The ongoing urbanization leads to densification and growth of cities, which replaces natural areas with hard surfaces. Precipitation is then more likely to runoff as stormwater than to be detained locally. Also, precipitation is predicted to be increasing as an effect of climate change. READ MORE

    Author : Aziliz Le Rouzo; [2020]
    Keywords : Carbon Footprint; Green Roof Design; Carbon Sink; Cost-Effectiveness; Life cycle Cost-Benefit Analysis; Green Roofs; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Green Roofs (GRs) have been used worldwide as a solution for greening cities, while providing useful services to society such as storm water management, improved air quality, energy savings, and increased biodiversity, to name a few. However, the environmental impact of their structure has been understudied, and more importantly, the carbon cost related to the use of materials that have a high carbon footprint has received little to no attention.
