The coastal areas of southeast China have typical high-density urbanization characteristics, and urban mountain parks are important green spaces in these space systems. Our study was conducted five Fuzhou, China. bird survey carried out 25 transects different vegetation habitats for 10 months, the to investigate characteristics communities causes their differences. results showed: (1) From 1 October 2021 15 July 2022, we recorded a total 90 species 8 orders, 37 families, 64 genera, with 1879 individuals parks. (2) Abundance diversity trees variables affecting (bird richness, abundance, Shannon diversity) parks, average branch height under has significant effect on evenness. (3) We found more higher both sparse dense forest habitats, but fewer waterfront, shrub, grassland habitats; (4) Average tree (AVE_HEIt) only present best model abundance However, none models number tourists predators diversity. could provide theoretical basis guidance future improvement ecological service functions subtropical areas.

Gardening for wildlife: A mixed‐methods exploration of the factors underlying engagement in wildlife‐friendly gardening

People and Nature, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 5(2), P. 808 - 825

Published: Feb. 1, 2023

Abstract Private domestic gardens have immense potential to contribute urban biodiversity conservation. However, they are divided into small private plots and managed individually by garden owners. Therefore, engagement in wildlife‐friendly gardening (WFG), which entails alternative management design choices, relies on the individual willingness of each owner. Using an online survey qualitative walking interviews with owners, our study explores internal external factors underlying WFG. We interpret reflect findings context as a relational practice between people nature. Our suggest that motivations for play central role how promote or impede For example, towards organic learning from nature WFG, whereas personal family care well‐being seem it. The perceived actual area, well self‐reported insufficient knowledge social norms, covary most Engagement WFG relates people's relationships nature, embodied norms community acceptance cohesion, respect others. Future research pro‐environmental behaviours should adopt more approaches go beyond self take better account feedback actions relations. Read free Plain Language Summary this article Journal blog.
