研究人员和水资源管理者已经转向绿色雨水基础设施,如生物沟、蓄水池、湿地、雨水花园和城市绿地,以减少洪水,增加地表水供应,补充地下水,并改善水质。越来越清楚的是,绿色雨水基础设施不仅控制着雨水的数量和时间,而且还促进了生态系统服务,这是生态系统为人类提供的好处。然而,关于了解绿色雨水管理如何影响生态系统服务的综述很少。本文的目的是回顾和综合已发表的关于生态系统服务和绿色雨水基础设施的文献,找出研究和理解上的差距,为生态系统服务和绿色雨水管理交叉领域的研究奠定基础。我们回顾了170篇关于雨水管理和生态系统服务的出版物,并总结了按生态系统服务的四种类型分类的科学现状。主要研究结果表明:(1)大多数研究是在地块尺度上进行的,应该扩展到更大的尺度,以更密切地了解绿色雨水基础设施的影响;(2)近三分之一的论文制定了实施绿色雨水基础设施的框架并突出了障碍;(3)论文讨论了生态系统服务,但量化的生态系统服务不到40%;(4)没有出现地理趋势,表明有兴趣在不同的背景下应用绿色雨水基础设施;(5)研究越来越多地整合工程学、物理学和社会科学的方法,以全面了解,和(6)标准化绿色雨水基础设施术语将提供一个比目前使用的多样化且往往多余的术语更有凝聚力的研究领域。我们建议未来的研究提供衡量和量化生态系统服务的指标,整合学科来衡量来自绿色雨水基础设施的生态系统服务,并更好地将雨水管理纳入环境政策。我们的结论勾勒出在雨水管理和生态系统服务的交叉点上未来有希望的研究方向。
Researchers and water managers have turned to green stormwater infrastructure, such as bioswales, retention basins, wetlands, rain gardens, and urban green spaces to reduce flooding, augment surface water supplies, recharge groundwater, and improve water quality. It is increasingly clear that green stormwater infrastructure not only controls stormwater volume and timing, but also promotes ecosystem services, which are the benefits that ecosystems provide to humans. Yet there has been little synthesis focused on understanding how green stormwater management affects ecosystem services. The objectives of this paper are to review and synthesize published literature on ecosystem services and green stormwater infrastructure and identify gaps in research and understanding, establishing a foundation for research at the intersection of ecosystems services and green stormwater management. We reviewed 170 publications on stormwater management and ecosystem services, and summarized the state-of-the-science categorized by the four types of ecosystem services. Major findings show that: (1) most research was conducted at the parcel-scale and should expand to larger scales to more closely understand green stormwater infrastructure impacts, (2) nearly a third of papers developed frameworks for implementing green stormwater infrastructure and highlighted barriers, (3) papers discussed ecosystem services, but less than 40% quantified ecosystem services, (4) no geographic trends emerged, indicating interest in applying green stormwater infrastructure across different contexts, (5) studies increasingly integrate engineering, physical science, and social science approaches for holistic understanding, and (6) standardizing green stormwater infrastructure terminology would provide a more cohesive field of study than the diverse and often redundant terminology currently in use. We recommend that future research provide metrics and quantify ecosystem services, integrate disciplines to measure ecosystem services from green stormwater infrastructure, and better incorporate stormwater management into environmental policy. Our conclusions outline promising future research directions at the intersection of stormwater management and ecosystem services.
