Abstract
Green areas in cities and their ecosystem services (ES) offer residents various benefits. The range of services depends on biodiversity of a green space. The aim was to determine the relationship between biodiversity in different categories of green areas in the city and the ecosystem services, which appear in it. We made 108 relevés in the autumn and spring time, within nine categories of green areas in the Municipality of Ljubljana. In each category the range of ES was assessed based on field analysis and compared with literature assessed ecosystem services. Results showed that the category of forests differ from others. Other categories were similar to each other, in particular grassland categories. Also, a positive relationship linkage was found - more plant species mean more assessed ecosystem services in a specific green infrastructure category.

Povezavo urbanih okolij ter narave v mestu najlažje prepoznamo in opazujemo v različnih oblikah mestnih zelenih površin
Ki smo jih pridobili iz literature ter terenskih popisov lokacij, smo nato v izbranih kategorijah zelenih površin v Ljubljani z ekspertno oceno ocenili, katere od storitev, ki so bile za posamezno kategorijo zelenih površin omenjene v literaturi, so v teh kategorijah v Ljubljani dejansko prisotne
Summary
Na območju Mestne občine Ljubljana smo izbrali devet kategorij zelenih površin, ki smo jih razdelili na štiri lokacije popisov (Preglednica 1). Te kategorije so bile kategorizirane v projektu Green Surge, Okvirni program EU za raziskave, FP7ENV.2013.6.2-5-603567) (GS, 2016).
