Mechanisms and thresholds of land use affecting surface water quality in Hangzhou City’s residential areas by Qianhu Chen, Jinye Huang

“…However, we can successfully control this negative impact by increasing the degree of green space dominance and aggregation. (3) To meet the standards for Class III water quality, various types of residential areas must adopt distinct control indicator thresholds: Compared to multi-story residential areas’ dispersed green spaces, small high-rise residential areas feature highly interconnected and clustered green spaces, which increases surface runoff pooling and spillover. Green spaces per unit area must perform environmental purification in high-rise residential areas due to their higher population density, which puts more demands on their design and ecological service activities. …”

Effects of Land Use Types on Selected Soil Properties in Central Highlands of Ethiopia by Daniel Jaleta Negasa

“…Grassland soils have highest exchangeable sodium at the lower layer while highest soil carbon and sum cations at the upper layer, which can be related to the grass root biomass return and less surface runoff on grassland. There was the highest exchangeable sodium percentage on Eucalyptus woodlot soils at the upper layer; it can be due to the less surface nutrient movement and growth characteristics of the tree. …”

Hydrological drivers of flooding in Niamey (Niger): the role of the Sirba River by Idi Souley Tangam, Roland Yonaba, Boubacar Ibrahim, Mahaman Moustapha Adamou, Harouna Karambiri

“…In Niamey (Niger) in West Africa, flooding is primarily caused by the significant increase in surface runoff resulting from heavy rainfall occuring between July and September in the upstream river basins of the three major tributaries of the Middle Niger River (Sirba, Gorouol ad Dargol catchments). …”

Urban vegetation benefits in mediterranean cities for climate change adaptation and water usage efficiency – a case study in Algarve, Portugal by Pedro Matias, Pedro Matias, Pedro Matias, Manuela Moreira da Silva, Manuela Moreira da Silva, Manuela Moreira da Silva, João Teigão, Amílcar Duarte, Amílcar Duarte

“…We found that urban vegetation across the city sequesters 1.09 × 103 t. yr−1 CO2, stores 4.01 × 103 t C, contributes to air pollutant removal (CO = 114; O3 = 3.56 × 103; NO2 = 313; SO2 = 224; PM10 = 872; PM2.5 = 70) kg. yr−1, and prevents 861 m3. yr−1 of surface runoff. In general, people inquired use to visit and value the city’s green spaces, enjoy activities in nature, have definite preferences regarding green spaces, and are available to suggest actions to improve these spaces. …”
