Modeling and assessing ecosystem functions of urban green infrastructure: an interdisciplinary collaboration

Sustainable urban development is largely determined by functional greening. Moscow's environmental policy for the creation and maintenance of green spaces is gradually shifting toward new principles based on modern approaches to assessing and predicting the ecosystem functions of green spaces, both at the city and site levels.

Assessing ecosystem functions requires an interdisciplinary approach combining ecological and economic methods with process-based mathematical modeling tools. As part of expert analysis conducted in 2025 at RUDN University with the participation of an interdisciplinary expert group, an approach was developed for assessing four priority ecosystem functions of green spaces:

1) dust absorption/deposition;

2) reduction of air temperature fluctuations;

3) absorption of surface runoff;

4) maintenance of biodiversity.

Using microclimate and hydrodynamic process modeling (including EnviMet, Flow2D, and LES MSU) as examples of four pilot new construction projects, ecosystem functions were assessed for two design scenarios (baseline and optimized). The identified relationships between ecosystem function indicators and greenery parameters (specifically, area, height, volume, and crown characteristics) were summarized in the form of calculation formulas for assessing the indicators of each ecosystem function and the performance indicator for the entire ecosystem function, based on design documentation data. The proposed formulas were tested on 30 renovation projects, revealing the advantages and limitations of the developed approach for implementation in landscaping and beautification practices in Moscow.

This report summarizes the results of modeling the ecosystem functions of Moscow's green spaces based on experience interacting with city services and design organizations, and identifies methodological and organizational limitations and development prospects.
