Green Roofs and Green Walls for Biodiversity Conservation: A Contribution to Urban Connectivity?

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 10(4), P. 985 - 985

Published: March 27, 2018

Green roofs and walls have recently emerged as conservation tools, they offer promising additional opportunities to enhance biodiversity in cities. However, their ecological conditions remain poorly considered when planning wildlife corridors. To discuss the role of vegetated buildings landscape connectivity, we reviewed technical specificities green light key factors concerning urban (patch size, quality, abundance, isolation). show limited patch sizes, distinct habitat quality at building scale, redundancy within landscape. We also highlight that abundance roof wall patches is often low. Future research needed establish if can be vertical corridors for wildlife, thereby reducing isolation roofs. argue creating 3D connectivity city requires substantial modifications design maintenance existing systems. suggest integrate biotic abiotic characteristics make them more closely resemble those open spaces.

The role of ‘nativeness’ in urban greening to support animal biodiversity

Landscape and Urban Planning, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 205, P. 103959 - 103959

Published: Oct. 27, 2020

The classification of plant species as native or exotic has ramifications for how they are treated within urban green space policy and practice. Green spaces built managed to fulfil a range ecological social functions, decisions must be made about which plants include achieve these functions. There is growing literary emphasis on native-only planting strategies, under the assumption that will deliver greater biodiversity benefits. Yet, there remains disconnection between theoretical debates definition value nativeness, design Using systematic review, we examine relationship nativeness animal in areas. We argue both use involve value-laden decisions. roots 'native' definitions have led ambiguity its literature. Despite this ambiguity, find most studies show positive influence at least one measure biodiversity, justifying their priority plantings support animals. conclude with considerations selection greening promote biodiversity: 1) resources provides more important than origin, but 2) when doubt, 'nativeness' good surrogate whether provide local animals, allows conservation themselves; 3) flexibility scale provenance strategic responses changing climates competing objectives design.

Bird Richness and Abundance in Response to Urban Form in a Latin American City: Valdivia, Chile as a Case Study

PLoS ONE, Journal Year: 2015, Volume and Issue: 10(9), P. e0138120 - e0138120

There is mounting evidence that urban areas influence biodiversity. Generalizations however require multiple on continents be examined. Here we evaluated the role of avian diversity for a South American city, allowing us to examine effects features common worldwide, using city Valdivia, Chile as case study. We assessed number birds and their relative abundance in 152 grid cells equal size (250 m2) distributed across city. estimated nine independent variables: land cover (DC), building density (BD), impervious surface (IS),municipal green space (MG),non-municipal (NG), domestic garden (DG), distance periphery (DP), social welfare index (SW), vegetation (RV). Impervious represent 41.8% study area, while municipal green, non-municipal 11.6%, 23.6% 16% non- man made surface. Exotic species 74.6% total identified found 32 bird species, all native with exception House Sparrow Rock Pigeon. The most were Chilean Swallow. Total richness responds negatively IS MG, positively NG BD, DG and, RV. increase higher values DC decrease IS, SW VR. Native Our results suggest not general patterns described previous studies, conducted mainly USA, Europe, Australia, can applied Latin cities, having important implications planning. Conservation efforts should focus areas, which harbor diversity, need improved include elements enhance habitat quality other species. These findings are relevant planning where both types considered, especially includes wetlands, today critically threatened by development.

Different Habitat Types Affect Bird Richness and Evenness

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 10(1)

Abstract More studies are needed on the mechanism and effective prediction of bird diversity in various habitats. The primary purpose this study was to explore difference species richness evenness secondary which habitat types compositions predict a high diversity. 2010–2016 Taiwan Breeding Bird Survey used analyze relationship between landscape ecology. Landscape type divided into seven categories 26 sub-types: forestland, farmland, grassland, freshwater wetland, aquaculture pond saltpan, coastland, building area. Four ecological indexes were used: number individuals, species, Margalef Richness Index, Pielou Evenness Index. result indicated that forestland decreased numbers, except windbreak forest. Natural farmland-related habitats increased richness. Similarly, natural evenness.
