This paper is devoted to the analysis of the impact of changes in olive urban forests affected by on ecosystem services. The focus is on microclimate and thermal comfort evaluated by two indices: the temperature of equivalent perception (TEP) and the predicted mean vote (PMV), which take into account both microclimate parameters and personal factors (heat resistance of clothing and human activity). The work has been carried out through (i) a qualitative analysis of the potential ecosystem services changes caused by temporary transition from olive groves to uncultivated soil, (ii) a study of the potential change of land use from monumental olive groves to other types of use, and (iii) a quantitative analysis on microclimate impact due to the loss of ecosystem services in two selected neighborhoods located in the Apulia region and chosen due to their proximity to the urban context. The analysis revealed that (i) direct effects on ecosystem services are principally linked with regulation functions and cultural services, (ii) a critical loss of cultural value of monumental olive groves occurred in the two neighborhoods, (iii) such a loss may lead to an increase of TEP and PMV, indicating a decrease of thermal comfort in the whole neighborhoods. Thus, it is necessary to plan the replanting policies of the use of the areas affected by not only in terms of agricultural planning but also in terms of landscape, urban planning, and human well-being.
本文致力于分析受 影响的橄榄城市森林对生态系统服务的影响。重点是通过两个指数评估微气候和热舒适度:体感等效温度 (TEP) 和预测平均投票 (PMV),这两个指数同时考虑了微气候参数和个人因素(衣物耐热性和人体活动)。这项工作通过以下三个方面进行:(i)定性分析因临时从橄榄树林过渡到未开垦土壤而导致的潜在生态系统服务变化,(ii)研究从纪念性橄榄树林到其他类型用途的土地利用变化的潜力,以及(iii)对位于普利亚地区的两个选定社区的微气候影响进行定量分析,选择这些社区是因为它们靠近城市环境。分析表明:(i)对生态系统服务的直接影响主要与调节功能和文化服务有关,(ii)在这两个社区中,纪念性橄榄树林的文化价值出现了严重损失,(iii)这种损失可能导致 TEP 和 PMV 增加,表明整个社区的热舒适度下降。因此,不仅需要从农业规划的角度,还需要从景观、城市规划和人类福祉的角度,来规划受 影响的地区的使用再种植政策。
