项目摘要

What we plant and how we manage our gardens can have a significant impact on the environment. Domestic gardens cover up to 30% of UK urban areas, and recent research has linked garden plant characteristics (in terms of their structure and function) with provision of key ecosystem services. Using garden plants with specific environmental benefits could reduce risks posed by extreme weather (droughts, floods, heatwaves) while increasing the sustainability of urban spaces. Solid scientific evidence that brings together information on how green space planting choice influences the local climatic conditions, and the delivery of multiple environmental benefits, now and in the future, is much needed. It would inform the advice that organizations such as the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) provide the UK gardening public to help them maximize beneficial ecosystem services, whilst minimizing environmental risks.The student will investigate the following research questions:a) How will plant choice and plant management affect the water- and energy balance of plant types (forbs, grasses, hedges and trees) that are currently pervasive in domestic UK gardens b) What are the implications of these plant choices for a range of ecosystem services (e.g., cooling, runoff reduction), and ecological benefits such as micro-climate refugia, increased biodiversity and associated service provision (e.g., pollination services)c) What are the trade-offs between these various services and benefits?d) Based on a-c, what recommendations can be made to UK gardeners in the context of climate change adaptation?

我们种植的植物和管理花园的方式会对环境产生重大影响。国内花园覆盖了英国城市地区的30%，最近的研究将花园植物的特征（在结构和功能方面）与提供关键的生态系统服务联系起来。使用具有特定环境效益的园林植物可以减少极端天气（干旱，洪水，热浪）带来的风险，同时提高城市空间的可持续性。现在和将来都非常需要有可靠的科学证据，汇集有关绿色空间种植选择如何影响当地气候条件的信息，并提供多种环境效益。学生将研究以下研究问题：a）植物选择和植物管理如何影响目前在英国国内花园中普遍存在的植物类型（杂类草，草，树篱和树木）的水和能量平衡B）这些植物选择对一系列生态系统服务（例如，冷却，径流减少），以及生态效益，如微气候避难所，增加的生物多样性和相关的服务提供（例如，（c）在这些不同的服务和利益之间有哪些权衡？d）根据a-c，在适应气候变化的背景下，可以向英国园丁提出哪些建议？
