The urban environment is related to the quality of life of more than half of the world’s population. The blue-green space consists of green space, water area and wetland is the basic framework of urban ecological space, the main body of urban public space, and an important component of urban characteristics. While providing services such as natural ecology, recreation, popular science and culture, it is of great significance to optimize urban spatial structure, isolate and protect various hazards and pollution, and to build ecology, beauty, harmony and livable modern city plays an irreplaceable role. In recent years, the research team has continued to focus on the ecological service function of urban blue-green space, the interaction of blue-green space and the relationship between blue-green space and the urban built environment, clarified the way and intensity of blue-green space’s action on the urban environment, as well as the realization path of ecological services, revealed the new mechanism of urban blue-green space coupling ecological effects, and achieved a series of innovative results. In the past five years, with the support of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (31870700, 31500576), and the High-end Foreign Experts Introduction Plan (G2022157005L), more than 20 papers have been published in Sustain Cities Soc., Build Environ, Urban For. Urban Green. with the first/corresponding author; It was approved to editor-in-chief the “Fourteenth Five-Year Plan” postgraduate textbook “Evaluation of Ecological
Effects of Urban Green Space” of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration.
Ecological functions of urban green terrestrial/wetland on air temperature, humidity, air quality and PM concentrations, involving measurements of ecological function and spatial mapping and modelling of the anthropogenic impact, have been studied in our recent works (Zhao et al., 2023; Zhao et al., 2021). We have experience of mapping and modelling spatial relationships of the anthropogenic impact on ecological functions, and we established the spatial relationship between air pollutants and road traffic, land use type, and meteorological predictor etc., combining field measurements, land use multiple regression models (LUR) and spatial kriging interpolation technology (Zhu and Zeng 2018). In addition, in our recent research, we have analysed the effects of the spatial heterogeneity of plant communities in urban forests on air PM10, PM2.5, temperature and humidity, using the example of Wuhan Ma’anshan Mountain Forest (Zhu et al., 2019). The results revealed that eight factors, namely tree height, diameter at breast height, canopy height, canopy density, canopy area, slope position, distance from pollution source and distance from the forest edge had a significant influence on PM reduction, and increased temperature and humidity (Zhu et al., 2019).
