Overview

Analysis shows urban expansion decreased ecosystem services in Monza and Brianza, suggesting critical land conservation is needed.

Key Points

  • Urban expansion has reduced provisioning ecosystem services, particularly those from agriculture, and increased pressure on green spaces.
  • Findings indicate decreased provisioning services by 30% from agriculture due to land-take, while cultural and regulating services stabilized or improved.
  • Assessment of land-use changes was conducted using official Lombardy Region data from 1999 to 2021, highlighting significant trends in ecosystem services.
  • Despite improvements in natural quality index from conservation policies, overall green space reduction remains a major concern in the region.
