Three-dimension green quantity (3DGQ), a quantitative index that measures the crown space occupied by a growing plant, is often used to evaluate the extent, and the environmental and climatic benefits of UGS. The objective of this study was to measure the 3DGQ of Paotaiwan Wetland Park (PWP) in Shanghai, China. Implementation of the 3DGQ index was supported by remote sensing (RS) images taken by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The 3DGQ calculations for 100 species of trees were used to calculate the 3DGQ of the UGS in PWP. The environmental and climatic benefits of UGS in PWP were also evaluated. The 3DGQ for the whole PWP was 668,624.13\u00a0m<sup>3<\/sup>. The mixed woods in the PWP annually absorbed 1,635.57\u00a0t CO<sub>2<\/sub>, 2.03\u00a0kg SO<sub>2<\/sub>, 735.48\u00a0t dust, and 2,254.49\u00a0t of O<sub>2<\/sub>. There was 367.74\u00a0t of diurnal transpiration. The lowered temperature of the PWP in the transpiration scope at 100\u00a0m altitude was 1.8\u00a0\u00b0C. The use of a UAV to assess UGS could help planners and policy makers to improve the environmental and climatic benefits of UGS.<\/p>\n<p>Full paper: <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.landurbplan.2017.04.006\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.landurbplan.2017.04.006<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"simple_likebuttons_container_small\">\r\n      <div class=\"simple_likebuttons_facebook\">\r\n        <div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\r\n        <script>(function(d, s, id) {\r\n          var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\r\n          if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\r\n          js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\r\n          js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\";\r\n          fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\r\n        }(document, \"script\", \"facebook-jssdk\"));<\/script>\r\n        <div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/lviz.org\/?p=942\" data-send=\"false\" data-layout=\"button_count\" data-show-faces=\"false\" data-width=\"90\"><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    \r\n      <div class=\"simple_likebuttons_twitter simple_likebuttons_twitter_s\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"none\" data-url=\"https:\/\/lviz.org\/?p=942\" data-lang=\"en\">Tweet<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    \r\n      <div class=\"simple_likebuttons_googleplus\">\r\n        <g:plusone size=\"medium\" count=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/lviz.org\/?p=942\"><\/g:plusone>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    \r\n      <div class=\"simple_likebuttons_linkedin simple_likebuttons_linkedin_s\">\r\n        <script type=\"IN\/Share\" data-url=\"https:\/\/lviz.org\/?p=942\" data-counter=\"right\"><\/script>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    \r\n      <div class=\"simple_likebuttons_xing simple_likebuttons_xing_s\">\r\n        <script data-url=\"https:\/\/lviz.org\/?p=942\" data-lang=\"de\" data-counter=\"right\" type=\"XING\/Share\"><\/script>\r\n        <script>\r\n          ;(function(d, s) {\r\n            var x = d.createElement(s),\r\n              s = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\r\n            x.src ='https:\/\/www.xing-share.com\/js\/external\/share.js';\r\n            s.parentNode.insertBefore(x, s);\r\n          })(document, 'script');\r\n        <\/script>\r\n      <\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using unmanned aerial vehicle data to assess the three-dimension green quantity of urban green space: A case study in Shanghai, China Urban green space (UGS), which plays an important role in reducing the problems associated with urbanization, needs to be evaluated by metrics.
