The urban forest is one of the main suppliers of ecosystem services in urban areas, and can provide the baseinformation to quantify ecosystem services and disservices, detecting the areas were low provision ofthose occur.
The analysis showedsynergies existing among regulating, provisioning and supporting services, while trade-offs were foundwith cultural services and regulating, provisioning and supporting services. Ecosystem services provisionwas positively related to the amount of vegetation and negatively related to its degree of fragmentation. Ahigh provision of ecosystem services was found in less populated areas, with more educated and affluentpeople, highlighting the strong relations existing between social vulnerabilities and areas of low provisionof services. Results from this research provide insights on the role of policy makers on better distributedsupply of ecosystem services and on how the landscape structure can be modified to plan for sustainablecities.
