5. 4. Analysis of urban ecosystem condition indicators for the large urban zones and city cores in EU : threshold assessment and exploration of the relation to ecosystem services through the application of G.I.S

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Författare :Christina Kourdounouli; [2018]

   Sammanfattning : As almost three out of four EU citizens live in urban areas and this number is expected to further grow, studies on urban ecosystems and their services are crucial to understand a city’s environmental structure and capabilities. The European Commission has published a relative report which suggests an urban ecosystem condition indicator framework, yet without suggesting respective thresholds that might indicate a “desired” environmental condition of the city.
