Although a number of comprehensive reviews have examined global ecosystem services (ES), few have focused on studies that assess urban ecosystem services (UES). Given that more than half of the world’s population lives in cities, understanding the dualism of the provision of and need for UES is of critical importance. Which UES are the focus of research, and what types of urban land use are examined? Are models or decision support systems used to assess the provision of UES? Are trade-offs considered? Do studies of UES engage stakeholders? To address these questions, we analyzed 217 papers derived from an ISI Web of Knowledge search using a set of standardized criteria. The results indicate that most UES studies have been undertaken in Europe, North America, and China, at city scale. Assessment methods involve bio-physical models, Geographical Information Systems, and valuation, but few study findings have been implemented as land use policy.

Understanding the dynamics of urban ecosystem services is a necessary requirement for adequate planning, management, and governance of urban green infrastructure. Through the three-year Urban Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (URBES) research project, we conducted case study and comparative research on urban biodiversity and ecosystem services across seven cities in Europe and the United States. Reviewing > 50 peer-reviewed publications from the project, we present and discuss seven key insights that reflect cumulative findings from the project as well as the state-of-the-art knowledge in urban ecosystem services research. The insights from our review indicate that cross-sectoral, multiscale, interdisciplinary research is beginning to provide a solid scientific foundation for applying the ecosystem services framework in urban areas and land management. Our review offers a foundation for seeking novel, nature-based solutions to emerging urban challenges such as wicked environmental change issues.

Structural Diversity: A Multi-dimensional Approach to Assess Recreational Services in Urban Parks

Annette Voigt; Nadja Kabisch; Daniel Wurster; Dagmar Haase; Jürgen Breuste

Urban green spaces provide important recreational services for urban residents. In general, when park visitors enjoy “the green,” they are in actuality appreciating a mix of biotic, abiotic, and man-made park infrastructure elements and qualities. We argue that these three dimensions of structural diversity have an influence on how people use and value urban parks. We present a straightforward approach for assessing urban parks that combines multi-dimensional landscape mapping and questionnaire surveys. We discuss the method as well the results from its application to differently sized parks in Berlin and Salzburg.

The Classical Holism-Reductionism Debate in Ecology

Ludwig Trepl; Annette Voigt

Controversies between holism and reductionism are a familiar feature in many fields of inquiry besides ecology. Although seldom described in these terms, The term “reductionism”, for example, became common only in the middle of the twentieth century, even though it covers older philosophical problems, which previously came under the rubric of “materialism” or “mechanism”, and the methodology of specific sciences (cf. Stockler 1992).

The Rise of Systems Theory in Ecology

Annette Voigt

The emergence of systems theory in ecology, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s, was accompanied by the hope that ecology might turn into an exact science with prognostic potential and a set of uniform theoretical foundations. The impact of systems theory on ecology was manifested mainly in the formulation and development of ecosystem theory. The widely-held view is that ecosystem theory is concerned primarily with units comprising communities of organisms of various species and the abiotic environment of these communities. The components of systems are seen to interact with one another.

Die Macht des Ökonomischen im Blick auf Natur und Landschaft

Annette Voigt

Der Beitrag diskutiert den derzeit in den Umweltwissenschaften stark verbreiteten Ansatz der Okosystemdienstleistungen (ecosystem services) und die in diesem eingenommene Perspektive auf Natur als ‚dienstleistendes Okosystem‘. Okosystemdienstleistungen werden durch quantifizierbare Einheiten erfasst, so dass eine Ubertragung in monetare Werte moglich ist. Den Leistungen bzw. den die Leistungen produzierenden Okosystemen werden Eigentums- oder Nutzungsrechte zugewiesen und es wird ein Markt fur diese Leistungen geschaffen. Anders als haufig behauptet, ist dieser Ansatz fur die Erhaltung der Artenvielfalt aufgrund seiner Fokussierung auf Nutzen und der Betrachtung von Arten als funktional aquivalent nicht hilfreich, sondern sogar schadlich. Erhebliche Teile der Artenvielfalt mussen als ‚nutzlos‘, ersetzbar oder schadlich und deshalb als nicht schutzenswert eingestuft werden. Die Kategorie der kulturellen Dienstleistungen ermoglicht zwar, den Schutz von Arten zu begrunden, die fur andere Dienstleistungen keine Funktionen erfullen oder schadlich sind. Allerdings ist diese Kategorie widerspruchlich und inkonsistent: Das, was durch sie erfasst werden soll, sind keine durch Indikatoren messbaren Leistungen oder Eigenschaften eines okologischen Systems, sondern die Fahigkeit des Subjektes, Natur und Landschaft in asthetischer und sinnhafter Weise zu erleben und zu beurteilen.

Gesellschaft, Lebensgemeinschaft, Ökosystem – Über die Kongruenz von politischen und ökologischen Theorien der Entwicklung

Annette Voigt

Im Jahr 1859 veroffentlichte Charles Darwin „On the Origin of Species“. Seine Evolutionstheorie ist das wohl spektakularste Beispiel einer naturwissenschaftlichen Theorie groser gesellschaftlicher Relevanz. Ihre verschiedenen Facetten wurden in der Offentlichkeit kontrovers diskutiert, unter anderem auch ihre Anwendung zur Erklarung von Zustanden und Prozessen menschlicher Gesellschaften. Zum Teil wurde die Seiensweise der Natur – scheinbar unabhangig von gesellschaftlichen Interessen – fur die Erklarung und Legitimation gesellschaftlicher Zustande oder die Legitimation von politischen Ideologien herangezogen (Sozialdarwinismus). Denn Gesellschaft funktioniere ja so, wie Darwin die Natur erklart habe: es herrsche z. B. Konkurrenzkampf, Auslese und Arbeitsteilung, Erfolg hatten diejenigen, die sich an die Bedingungen am Besten anpassten.
