Mitigating the impact of increasing impervious surfaces on stormwater runoff by low impact development (LID) is currently being widely promoted at site and local scales. In turn, the series of distributed LID implementations may produce cumulative ef...

Ecosystem services of collectively managed urban gardens : exploring factors affecting synergies and trade-offs at the site level (2017)
Journal Article
Dennis, M., & James, P. (2017). Ecosystem services of collectively managed urban gardens : exploring factors affecting synergies and trade-offs at the site level. Ecosystem Services, 26(A), 17-26. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoser.2017.05.009

Collective management of urban green space is being acknowledged and promoted. The need to understand productivity and potential trade-offs between co-occurring ecosystem services arising from collectively managed pockets of green space is pivotal to...

Cooling effect of direct green façades during hot summer days : an observational study in Nanjing, China using TIR and 3DPC data (2017)
Journal Article
Yin, H., Kong, F., Middel, A., Xu, H., & James, P. (2017). Cooling effect of direct green façades during hot summer days : an observational study in Nanjing, China using TIR and 3DPC data. Building and Environment, 116, 195-206. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2017.02.020

Thermal regulation is a key ecosystem service provided by direct green façades (DGFs), as vegetated walls absorb short wave radiation, reduce solar re-radiation from hard surfaces, and provide cooling due to shading and evapotranspiration. Few studie... Read More about Cooling effect of direct green façades during hot summer days : an observational study in Nanjing, China using TIR and 3DPC data.
