Maryland's Green Infrastructure assessment : Development of a comprehensive approach to land conservation
275
TL;DR: The green infrastructure assessment is a tool developed in the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to help identify and rank those areas of greatest statewide ecological importance, as well as those at greatest risk of loss to development.

TL;DR: The results indicate that most UES studies have been undertaken in Europe, North America, and China, at city scale, but few study findings have been implemented as land use policy.
From Multifunctionality to Multiple Ecosystem Services? A Conceptual Framework for Multifunctionality in Green Infrastructure Planning for Urban Areas
Rieke Hansen,Stephan Pauleit +1 more
TL;DR: A conceptual framework for the assessment of multifunctionality from a social–ecological perspective is proposed that can inform the design of planning processes and support stronger exchange between GI and ES research.
Sampling designs for accuracy assessment of land cover
TL;DR: An overview is presented of the sampling designs used in accuracy assessment, and the status of these designs is appraised for meeting current needs.

TL;DR: It is concluded that urban vegetation can facilitate broad health benefits, but there is little empirical evidence linking these benefits to air pollution reduction by urban vegetation, and appreciable efforts are needed to establish the underlying policies, design and engineering guidelines governing its deployment.

Green Infrastructure as a tool to support spatial planning in European urban regions
TL;DR: In this article, an updated conceptual framework for the development, management, and analysis of green infrastructure networks by focusing on contemporary drivers nested together at the territorial level and with a prominent role for temporal considerations is presented.

The value of the world's ecosystem services and natural capital

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have estimated the current economic value of 17 ecosystem services for 16 biomes, based on published studies and a few original calculations, for the entire biosphere, the value (most of which is outside the market) is estimated to be in the range of US$16-54 trillion (10^(12)) per year, with an average of US $33 trillion per year.

Ecological Processes That Affect Populations in Complex Landscapes
TL;DR: A general framework for understanding the ecological processes that operate at landscape scales is described and the composition of habitat types in a landscape and the physiognomic or spatial arrangement of those habitats are the two essential features that are required to describe any landscape.

Regional Forest Fragmentation and the Nesting Success of Migratory Birds
TL;DR: Observed reproductive rates were low enough for some species in the most fragmented landscapes to suggest that their populations are sinks that depend for perpetuation on immigration from reproductive source populations in landscapes with more extensive forest cover.
Do Habitat Corridors Provide Connectivity
Paul Beier,Reed F. Noss +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed published studies that empirically addressed whether corridors enhance or diminish the population viability of species in habitat patches connected by cor- ridors and concluded that corridors are valuable conservation tools.

TL;DR: Gap analysis as discussed by the authors identifies the gaps in representation of biological diversity (biodiversity) in areas managed exclusively or primarily for the longterm maintenance of populations of native species and natural ecosystems (hereinafter referred to as biodiversity management areas).
