This study focuses on the analysis of ecosystem services provided by green spaces in Bangkok, Thailand, as a potential tool to address urban and environmental problems there. The analyses are divided into two parts for achieving two objectives, 1) estimating the magnitude of ecosystem services provided by public street trees, and 2) examining the relationship between stable isotopic data of tree leaves and the environmental quality of Bangkok's streets. The findings could be used to identify tree management issues and tree species with high potential to mitigate environmental problems through enhancement of the ecosystem service provision. A combination of field inventories, interviews with related stakeholders, stable isotopic analyses, remote sensing, geographic information, and computational models were used in this dissertation.For objective 1, the results indicate that citywide public street trees can provide environmental services, including reducing about sixty-five tons of air pollutants per year; reducing 2.11 million m³ of storm water runoff per year; reducing 13,000 tons of CO₂ per year; saving 8.29 million kWh of electricity per year; and storing 70,000 tons of carbon throughout the trees' lifetime. The total annual monetary benefit of these services is about
