本文的目的是在评估利用城市森林减轻污染的功效时整合生态系统服务和损害的概念。对文献的简要回顾确定了城市森林提供的一些污染缓解生态系统服务。经济学和生态文献中现有的生态系统服务定义和类型被改编并应用于城市森林管理，并讨论了自然和半自然系统造成的生态系统损害的概念。城市森林生态系统服务的空气质量和二氧化碳封存的例子被用来说明与评估其减轻城市污染的功效相关的问题。制定减轻污染的城市森林管理替代方案应考虑规模、背景、异质性、管理强度以及其他社会和经济共同效益、权衡以及影响利益相关者和城市可持续发展目标的成本。 (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
The purpose of this paper is to integrate the concepts of ecosystem services and disservices when assessing the efficacy of using urban forests for mitigating pollution. A brief review of the literature identifies some pollution mitigation ecosystem services provided by urban forests. Existing ecosystem services definitions and typologies from the economics and ecological literature are adapted and applied to urban forest management and the concepts of ecosystem disservices from natural and semi-natural systems are discussed. Examples of the urban forest ecosystem services of air quality and carbon dioxide sequestration are used to illustrate issues associated with assessing their efficacy in mitigating urban pollution. Development of urban forest management alternatives that mitigate pollution should consider scale, contexts, heterogeneity, management intensities and other social and economic co-benefits, tradeoffs, and costs affecting stakeholders and urban sustainability goals.
