Motivations Green urban spaces are important parts of the urban environmental system. They provide several ecosystem services (e.g. positive effects on human health, social dynamics, housing prices and business district activity, reduced run-off, improved soil drainage, soil erosion control, watershed protection and provision of wildlife habitats and ecological corridors, urban heat island mitigation, cooling and reduction of energy demand in adjacent buildings and alleviation of air pollution and dust,…). We live in a changing urban environment (e.g. climate change, seasonality, heat islands, increasing urbanization, paved and impermeable surfaces,…) and goals We need tools for the quantification of the provided ecosystem services (e.g. water and nutrient fluxes). We need tools for a sustainable and optimal management of green urban spaces (e.g. specie selection, water irrigation requirement, fertilization, urban design, water stress,…).
