Urban soil and human health: a review

SummaryRapid industrialization and urbanization during recent decades are having dramatic effects on urban soil properties and lead to large discharges of pollutants, which inevitably affect the health of the soil, ecosystems and human populations. This paper provides a systematic review of the relations between urban soil and human health. First, it summarizes the organic and inorganic pollutants in urban soil and their potential risks to human health. Second, the relations between urban greenbelt land, soil microbial diversity and human health are also explored. Third, we propose that future research should focus on the integration of assessments of health risks with exposure pathways and site characteristics. Bioavailability‐based risk assessment frameworks for pollutants in urban soil can elucidate the complicated relations between urban soil, pollutant exposure and human health in cities. Finally, management of urban soil and policy should be strengthened in the future to maintain its sustainable development and utilization. More effort should be directed to understanding the relations between soil microbial diversity, green space and human health in cities.Highlights Evidence indicates the importance of urban soil in maintaining human health. Pollutants, green space and microbial biodiversity have been systematically summarized. Urban vegetation and antibiotic resistance genes in urban soil have implications in human health. Bioavailability of pollutants and antibiotic resistance genes should be considered for human risk assessment.

Study on the sediment characteristics of the snow in a typical residential community and its integrated biological treatment pattern in Harbin.

Winter cities have severe shortages of water resources. The effective classification and recycling of urban water resources that are available here are therefore significant for the sustainable utilization of water in winter cities, and snow is a potential water resource. In this research, the water quality of the snow and the pollutant composition in the vehicle roads of a typical residential community of Harbin are analyzed. It is concluded that there is a large amount of suspended substances, including chemical oxygen demand (COD), salt, ammonia, and oil in this snow. There are 27 main pollutants. The oily substances are dominated by hexadecane and are accompanied by toxic substances, including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene (BTEX), and naphthalene. As snow is a carrier of pollutants, the underground space of the urban shallow green belt is proposed to be used to establish a snow-melting system that would integrate biological treatment devices. This method allows the year-round collection, storage, and utilization of rainwater for use in city planning and municipal technology, realizing multiple objectives and having a significant influence on further urban development.

Development of a methodology for the characterization of urban and periurban green spaces in the context of supra-municipal sustainability strategies

Periurban landscapes should be interpreted as multifunctional spaces enabling them to be valued according to environmental, economic and social criteria. This article proposes a methodology for the characterization of urban and periurban green spaces in the context of strategies which enable planning processes for cities of the future to be devised. Firstly, the green belt is characterized and evaluated and its resilience and dynamic analyzed. Subsequently, different supra-municipal tools are compared and a summary of various existing methodologies and programs is produced, making it possible to develop a matrix for diagnosing projects for green spaces and periurban natural spaces and evaluating their potential as a Green Infrastructure in the context of Open Space Strategies. The application of this method in the characterization of periurban space emphasizes elements of scenic beauty whose incorporation in the said strategies does not require large investments but instead an effort in terms of promoting such places. The drafting of this Open Spaces Strategy offers a cross-disciplinary planning tool with which to take action using a landscape reading scale. This comprehensive view makes it possible to optimize efforts and investments and involve the whole community at all levels of operation through processes of citizen participation. As a result, a systematic and collective diagnostic tool is obtained for characterizing the urban and periurban green belt, which can be applied to the various periurban spaces in accordance with the multifunctionality demanded by supra-municipal strategies.

Soil water reservoir properties of green belts in the central urban area of Shanghai, China

Taking the typical parks and public green belts in the central urban area of Shanghai for examples, water reservoir storage of soils of different types and influencing factors were investigated based on field surveys. The results showed that the total reservoir capacity of soils of the green belts in the central urban area of Shanghai was relatively low. However, the whole green belts still accumulated a large amount of water, which reached up to 1.88×107 m3. The existing water volume was 75.7% of the total reservoir capacity, while the remaining water storage was relatively low. The detention capacity and the effective storage of green belts were 31.6% and 27.2%, respectively. The dead storage was 44.5 %. Moreover, some difference existed in the water reservoirs for different vegetation types. The total water reservoir capacity of soils and the remaining water-storage space of the tree and brush lands were obviously higher than those of the grass lands. The water-detention capacity and the effective storage of the brush lands were remarkably higher than those of the tree and grass lands, but there was no remarkable difference among various vegetation types for both the existing water volume and the dead water storage. Thus, reducing soil compaction, increasing organic-matter content, improving physical properties and optimizing plant allocation of green belts would improve the water reservoir capacity effectively for the urban green belt soils.

Indicators for quantitative evaluation of the social services function of urban greenbelt systems: A case study of shenzhen, China

Existing ecological service assessments of urban green space have concentrated on natural environment, while research on the social services function remains underexplored. Taking Shenzhen as an example, this study starts with integrating the function of green space system with human needs. An indicator assessment technique that combines spatialization, rasterization and detailed of land ecological assessment was established with regard to the benefits of landscape aesthetics, function of disaster prevention and mitigation, and accessibility of park greenbelts. The results show that Shenzhen has very high recreational and cultural value, as the areas above medium level account for 66% of the city’s land area, and the recreational and cultural services are worth approximately 40.8million Yuan. Forest parks and comprehensive parks are important places to carry out social service function, particularly the disaster prevention and mitigation function, and the green spaces for disaster prevention and mitigation can be found in most of the disaster-prone areas. The accessibility of service shows a certain level of centrality, since the highest grade is concentrated in the central Bao’an, central Longgang, and the central part of the city. Based on the GIS overlay analysis, this study recognizes the distribution of essential patches, and constructs the structure of essential patches in urban green greenbelt systems by a combination of point, line, and surface elements. It shows the services of the Shenzhen greenbelt system have high potential for social integration, and this study also discusses the policy implication for macro decision-making. The assessment results objectively reflect multiple social services of the green space system in this region and provide a reference for the management, planning and construction of urban ecology in similar cities.

Sharing City

The increase in shared bicycles has required swift and adaptive responses to design and management of the urban landscape. This image shows shared bicycles taking up a large amount of pedestrian space, while the urban green belt continues to unevenly consume urban resources, failing to provide the sharing city more services. Such a reality is a challenge not only to the design and management process, but also to our values.

Dew is a crucial factor in the water and nutrient cycle of urban ecosystems; thus, could exert considerable influence on the water cycle by affecting the vapor condensation. To reveal the effects of global warming on dew variation in urban ecosystems, dew was monitored daily using poplar wooden sticks, asphalt blocks, and soil blocks in the complex urban landscapes of Changchun, northeastern China. A correlation analysis was conducted between meteorological factors and dew intensity in greenbelt areas of the urban ecosystem. The results indicated that dew intensity correlated positively with relative humidity, dew point temperature, air temperature, wind chill temperature, and solar radiation (n=254, P<0.01), whereas it correlated negatively with PM2.5, PM10, air quality index, nocturnal wind speed, and atmospheric pressure (n=254, P<0.01). During the monitoring period, there were 132-136 dew days per year, which accounted for 62.5% of the frost-free season in Changchun. Substrate plays a notable roll in the formation of dew, and at night, dew intensity showed different patterns among the various landscapes. The landscapes in descending order of average dew intensity were greenbelt (0.0607 mm), bare land (0.0100 mm), and roads (0.0049 mm) (P<0.01). Dew plays an important role in the greenbelt water balance and the dewfall in July, August, and September was equal to 22.52% and 23.61% of the rainfall for the same period in 2014 and 2015, respectively. According to the proportion of each landscape, dewfall was 23-25 mm/ac in Changchun. The results suggested that increased vegetation coverage could enhance the amount of water vapor available to condense on the ground surface. However, water could not condense if the proportion of the urban greenbelt area was reduced to 5%. Based on synchronous meteorological data, a stepwise linear multiple regression model was established to predict the dew amount. The model successfully revealed the relationship between simulated and measured dew intensities. The results suggested that a warmer and drier climate would not lead to a substantial reduction in dew. Combining the model and climate data for the study area from 1965-2015 during the dew condensation period, annual dewfall showed a decreasing trend of -1.07 mm/10 ac (P<0.01). However, under the mutual influence of relative humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation, the impact of climate change on dew condensation was not obvious. The present study developed a method for monitoring and calculating dew on different underlying surfaces of an urban ecosystem, and it improved the system of dew surveillance. The established empirical model could be used to predict dew intensity and help clarify the impact of climate change on the near-surface water cycle. 参考文献 相似文献 引证文献

Soil water reservoir properties and influencing factors of typical newly-established green belts of Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden, China.

The effects of different vegetation types, compaction ways and soil basic physico-chemical properties on soil water reservoir in the typical newly-established green belts of Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden were studied. The results showed that the total reservoir capacity, detention capacity and effective storage for the Botanical Garden were lower than those of natural forests. However, the dead storage was very high accounting for 60.6% of the total reservoir capacity, resulting in reduced flood storage and drainage capacity for the greens. The total reservoir capacity and detention capacity of different vegetation types were in order of brush land> tree land> grassland> bamboo land> bare land. The effective storages of the brush land and the tree land were relatively high, whereas those of the bare land and the bamboo land were lower. The ratios of the dead storage over the total re-servoir capacity in the bare land and the bamboo land were relatively high with the values 65.5% and 67.6%, respectively. The total reservoir capacity, detention capacity and effective storage of the brush land were significantly different from those of the bare land. The vegetation significantly improved the water storage and retention capacity for the soil, while the compaction by large machinery and man-caused trampling reduced the total reservoir capacity, detention capacity and effective storage of soils. The water reservoir properties were influenced by soil bulk density, saturated hydraulic conductivity, capillary porosity, non-capillary porosity, total porosity, clay and organic matter contents. Therefore, improving the soil physico-chemical properties might increase the soil reservoir capacity of the urban green belt effectively.

Past land use decisions and socioeconomic factors influence urban greenbelt development: a case study of Shanghai, China

Although the designation of greenbelts around cities has been a common practice for several decades, some greenbelts have not been successfully protected from development. To explore the forces driving the construction of greenbelts, this paper examines how past land use and land cover decisions and current socioeconomic factors have affected the development of the artificial greenbelt zone in China’s Shanghai metropolitan area. Using aerial photographs from 1994, 2005, and 2010, we find that the area of afforested greenbelt was generally related to past land use/cover decisions. Compared with cropland and grassland, factory, village, and urban land use/cover types showed higher resistance to transitioning to forest during the study period. Moreover, the Mantel test showed little spatial autocorrelation between protected land and geodetic coordinates. Principal coordinates of neighbour matrices analysis showed that socioeconomic and urban contextual variables explained 9 % of the variation in protected land, whereas the spatial variables explained 24 %. Population migration towards the city’s suburban fringes negatively affected the greenbelt area, while district-level finance revenue was a positive factor and town/sub-district-level gross domestic product was a negative factor, depending on the investment sources for greenbelt construction. Furthermore, distance to the sub-centre and distance to a subway station had positive influences. Understanding these driving forces can help improve greenbelt planning and management.

도시열섬 완화를 위한 녹지증가에 따른 온도변화 분석

최근 기후 온난화, 오존층 파괴, 열대림의 감소, 사막화 등의 환경문제가 이미 한 국가 문제를 넘어 범세계적인 지구환경문제로 대두되면서 이를 해결하기 위한 국제적인 관심과 노력이 다양하게 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 원격탐사 기법을 이용하여 도시의 녹지증가를 정량적으로 산출하고, 온도 추출을 통해 도시의 온도변화를 파악하고자 하였다. 2002년 5월과 2009년 5월 Landsat TM영상을 이용하여 연구대상지의 녹지 면적변화와 열변화를 분석하였으며, 도심의 지표면 온도를 추출하기 위해 Landsat TM 열적외선 영역센서인 Band 6의 분광밝기정도를 이용하여 표면온도분포를 산출하였다. 연구결과, 도심지 녹지의 면적이 <TEX>$2.97km^2$</TEX> 증가하였으며, 도시의 지표온도가 약<TEX>$0.6^{\circ}C{\sim}0.8^{\circ}C$</TEX> 낮아졌음을 제시하였다. 향후 원격탐사 및 실측자료를 바탕으로 도심 온도변화에 대한 추가적인 연구가 이루어진다면 도시환경문제 해결에 크게 기여할 것이다. Recently, environmental issues such as climate warming, ozone layer depletion, reduction of tropical forests and desertification are emerging as global environmental problems beyond national problems. And international attention and effort have been carried out in many ways to solve these problems. In this study, the growth of green was calculated quantitatively using the technique of remote sensing and temperature change was figured out through temperature extraction in the city. The land-cover changes and thermal changes for research areas were analyzed using Landsat TM images on May 2002 and May 2009. Surface temperature distribution was calculated using spectral degree of brightness of Band 6 that was Landsat TM thermal infrared sensor to extract the ground surface temperature in the city. As a result of research, the area of urban green belt was increased by <TEX>$2.87km^2$</TEX> and the ground surface temperature decreased by <TEX>$0.6^{\circ}C{\sim}0.8^{\circ}C$</TEX> before and after tree planting projects. Henceforth, if the additional study about temperature of downtown is performed based on remote sensing and measurement data, it will contribute to solve the problems about the urban environment.

Soil respiration for different plant communities in an urban green-belt of Shanghai

The soil respiration rate of nine plant communities （Cinnamomum camphora，Torreya grandis-Ginkgo biloba，Cedrus deodara，Ginkgo biboba，Osmanthus fragrans，Cercis sp.，Lolium perenne-Cynodon dactylon，Zoysia japonica，and Cynodon dactylon） in Shanghai City were studied with a CFX-2 Soil Respiration Chamber，and the main influential factors were identified，and the aim was to evaluate correctly soil respiration of urban soil. The digital thermometer was used to test the air temperature，the soil temperature at 5 cm depth and the soil temperature at 10 cm depth. And all data were average of three replications，and a correlation analysis was also employed. Results showed that soil respiration rates varied by season with the maximum found from June to September and the minimum from December to the following March. Daily variation in the soil respiration rate under communities of trees and bushes was generally stable; whereas a lawn had a single-peaked curve. The maximum soil respiration rates （5.51 molm－2s－1） found under Cynodon dactylon and the minimum （2.76 times less） found under a Cercis sp. community. The soil respiration rate had a significant exponential correlation （P＜0.01） with the air temperature，the soil temperature at 5 cm depth，and the soil temperature at 10 cm depth. Soil water content had an effect on soil respiration under lawns，but it had a relatively small influence on tree and bush communities. The soil labile organic carbon content was ranked in the following order: light fraction organic carbon （LFOC） ＞ microbial biomass carbon （MBC） ＞ dissolved organic carbon （DOC），but MBC and DOC had the greatest influence on the soil respiration rate. The maximum released quantity of CO2 reached to 33.18 thm－2a－1 under lawns, which was 1.95 times that of trees and 2.12 times that of bushes.［Ch，3 fig. 6 tab. 30 ref］

城市系统碳循环:特征、机理与理论框架

城市是地表受人类活动影响最深刻的区域,城市系统碳循环在全球和区域碳过程中具有重要的地位和作用。提出了城市"自然-社会"二元碳循环的概念,探讨了城市系统碳循环的一般特征;分析了城市系统碳循环的内部机理,主要包括:城市系统碳储量和碳输入/输出通量的主要过程和途径、城市系统碳储量、碳通量和碳流通的生命周期分析、城市系统碳输入和碳输出的类型划分等;提出了基于系统层次划分和碳流通过程的城市系统碳循环的研究框架,分析了城市自然系统和城市经济系统的主要碳流通过程和环节,构建了城市系统碳循环研究的思路和理论框架;最后提出了城市系统碳循环领域未来的研究重点。;Since 1990's, researches on carbon cycle were mostly focused on natural processes, such as farmland ecosystem, forest ecosystem and soil, but the anthropogenic carbon process in urban system was always ignored. Presently, under the pressure of climate change and international carbon emission reduction, how to coordinate the relationship between economic development and urban environmental protection, promote carbon emission reduction and develop low-carbon economy has been a hot multi-disciplinary topic. Urban system is an ecosystem that is profoundly impacted by human activities on the earth, in which land use and land cover changes drastically. With much human energy consumption and carbon emission, urban carbon cycle will inevitably have a profound impact on global carbon cycle and climate change. So, urban carbon cycle plays an important role in regional and global carbon cycle processes. Research on urban carbon cycle is not only the important basis for establishing low-carbon urban strategies, but also the theoretical reference for choosing low-carbon city pattern. Firstly, the concept of natural-social dualistic carbon cycle of urban system was put forward and analyzed, and the circulation process map of urban system was established. It shows that the carbon cycle process of urban system was quite different from that of natural ecosystem. Further, the main characteristics of urban carbon cycle were discussed in this paper. Generally, urban system is a complex system that includes natural and anthropogenic processes, horizontal and vertical processes, surface and underground processes, economic and social processes. Secondly, the mechanism of carbon cycle in urban system was discussed from several aspects, such as: the main processes of carbon storage and carbon input & output fluxes, life cycle of carbon storage, carbon fluxes and carbon circulation processes, carbon input & output types of urban system, etc. In this section, the processes of carbon storage and carbon fluxes of urban system were emphasized in details for better understanding the process of urban carbon cycle. The life cycle analysis of carbon storage, carbon flux and carbon circulation processes gave us a clear idea on how to control the important carbon emission reduction sections. Thirdly, the research framework of carbon cycle in urban system was established according to systematic division and carbon circulation process analysis. Based on the analysis of carbon processes in urban system, the urban system was divided into several social-economic subsystems (such as industrial, commercial, residential, transportation and office subsystems) and natural subsystems (such as water body, farmland, forest, pasture land and urban greenbelt, etc.). Furthermore, the carbon circulation processes between urban system and external system, and the carbon processes between urban natural ecosystems and social-economic systems were analyzed, and the theoretical framework of urban carbon cycle research was established. Finally, the future research trends of urban carbon cycle were put forward, such as: building systematic urban carbon cycle model, establishing urban carbon emission factor database and calculation criterion, promoting contrast studies on carbon cycle and circulation mode of cities under different developing levels, strengthening control and management of key processes in carbon cycle of urban system.

Heavy Metal Contamination Characteristics of Greenbelt Soil and Tree Enrichment in Harbin City, China

Soil heavy metal contamination (SHMC) in greenbelt functional areas and their enrichment characteristics in 7 tree species were evaluated. The results showed that Cd contamination is the heaviest in all 4 heavy metals. The pollution level decreases in following order: Industrial Park Greenbelt (IPG), Urban Road Greenbelt (URG), Greenbelt along Both Sides of Songhua River (GBSSR), City Park Greenbelt (CPG), Agricultural Land (AL), Forest and Nursery Greenbelt (FNG). As for Zn, Cu and Cd contaminants, the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of Populus lasiocarpa is higher than other species, therefore, it should be selected as an important species to repair heavy metal polluted soil; the other tree species with relatively lower BCF can be selected as reserved tree species.

Adaptability of &lt;i&gt;Cornus Alba&lt;/i&gt; Seedling under Drought Stress in Highway Greening

The drought resistance adaptation mechanism of highway greening plants was always the focal point which the researcher payed attention. This experiment took Cornus alba as the study object and examines its resistance to drought stress by using the potting and water control method. The researcher measured bond water content, water saturation deficit, relevant water content, relevant content of osmotic water, and osmotic potential when full turgor and turgor were both zero. Other water condition indexes also were analyzed systematically. Finally, a comprehensive evaluation on the drought resistance of Cornus alba by fuzzy mathematics’ anti-membership function was conducted. According to the experiment result, Cornus alba had the highest drought resistance at B-level treatment (soil water content: 53.60%), followed by D-level (soil water content: 29.90%) treatment. Cornus alba had strong endurance and resistance to drought stress. This study could provide a scientific basis for the future introduction of other urban greenbelt plants and the choice of excellent traits.
