Abstract As human-dominated land-use increases globally, urbanization is a prominent cause of a decline in natural areas, including lentic ecosystems (i.e. lakes, ponds and wetlands). Lentic ecosystems in urban green spaces, such as parks, golf courses or forest preserves, could provide important habitat for organisms within the urban matrix. However, there is a lack of data comparing lentic habitats across these land-use types. We quantified the area of golf courses and forest preserve habitats in the Chicago Metropolitan Region. We measured pesticide concentrations, water chemistry, physicochemical parameters and algal composition in lentic habitats of golf courses and forest preserves in the spring and summer of 2017. Permanent ponds, whether located within a golf course or forest preserve, had similar water quality, chemistry and chlorophyll a and phycocyanin, but differed from ephemeral ponds in forest preserves. Pesticide concentrations within golf course ponds were found in 11 of 25 courses, but only three pesticides (out of 10 measured) were detected. These data suggest golf courses can provide lentic habitats of similar quality to other adjacent land-use types. Additional study is needed to document their role in providing habitat for aquatic biota and sustaining ecosystem services in urban landscapes.

表征高尔夫球场和邻近绿地中的静水栖息地：水质、水化学、农药浓度和藻类浓度

摘要 随着人类主导的土地利用在全球范围内增加，城市化是自然区域减少的主要原因，包括静水生态系统（即湖泊、池塘和湿地）。城市绿地（如公园、高尔夫球场或森林保护区）中的静息生态系统可以为城市矩阵内的生物提供重要的栖息地。然而，缺乏比较这些土地利用类型的静息栖息地的数据。我们量化了芝加哥大都市区的高尔夫球场和森林保护区的面积。我们在 2017 年春季和夏季测量了高尔夫球场和森林保护区的静水栖息地中的农药浓度、水化学、物理化学参数和藻类成分。永久性池塘，无论是位于高尔夫球场内还是森林保护区内，水质相似，化学和叶绿素 a 和藻蓝蛋白，但与森林保护区中的临时池塘不同。在 25 个球场中的 11 个球场中发现了高尔夫球场池塘内的农药浓度，但仅检测到 3 种农药（在 10 个测量中）。这些数据表明，高尔夫球场可以提供与其他相邻土地利用类型类似的质量栖息地。需要进一步研究以记录它们在为水生生物群提供栖息地和维持城市景观中的生态系统服务方面的作用。
