Abstract

Rapid urbanization and population growth impact enormous pressures on urban natural, economic and social environments. The quantitative analysis of urban green space (UGS) landscape dynamics and their impact on the urban eco-environment is of great significance for urban planning and eco-environment protection. Taking Shenzhen as an example, the UGS landscape changes and their impact on urban heat islands (UHI), surface wetness, air pollution and carbon storage were comprehensively investigated with Landsat and MODIS images. Results showed a large number of lands transferring from UGS to non-UGS from 1978 to 2018, especially for cropland. Built-up regions have adverse influences on eco-environment factors, and then they suffer high SUHI and AOD and low humidity and carbon storage. The growth of built-up areas not only enlarges the area of SUHI, but also enhances the intensity of heat islands. On the contrary, UGS patches have beneficial influences on all eco-environment factors and then enjoy a better eco-environment, including low SUHII, high surface wetness, high carbon storage and low AOD. It is expected that this study could provide scientific support for UGS plans and for conserving and sustainable urban development for developing cities.
