1Role of Plants and Urban Soils in Carbon Stock: Status, Modulators, and Sustainable Management Practices
Plants, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(4), P. 546 - 546
Published: Feb. 10, 2025
Urban soils are vital components of urban ecosystems, significantly influenced by anthropogenic activities and environmental factors. Despite misconceptions about their quality, play a pivotal role in carbon (C) cycling storage, impacting global emissions sequestration. However, challenges such as soil contamination, land use changes, expansion pose significant threats to quality C storage capacity. Over the last two decades, there has been an increasing interest potential part climate change mitigation strategies. In this review, bibliometric analysis covering twenty years (2004-2024) was performed offer insights into research trends, mainly Mediterranean region. This paper also identifies gaps proposes essential solutions for mitigating negative impacts urbanization on biodiversity functions. Key modulators, including plants, microbes, features, highlighted dynamics, emphasizing importance effective vegetation management enhance sequestration ecosystem services. Strategies reintroducing nature areas applying organic amendments promising improving microbial diversity. Further awareness maximize effectiveness these strategies, ensuring sustainable resilience.

2Plant Diversity Distribution along an Urbanization Gradient and Relationships with Environmental Factors in Urban Agglomerations of Henan Province, China
Diversity, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(1), P. 53 - 53
Published: Jan. 15, 2024
Urbanization induces rapid plant environmental modifications, leading to alterations in diversity distribution patterns and homogenization. However, how is distributed along urbanization gradients regional urban agglomerations its relationship with factors are not well defined. In three nearby Henan Province Chinese cities—Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Zhongmu—along an gradient, the pattern of was quantified. Both native non-native plants found green spaces were taken into consideration. A total 176 quadrats selected separated gradient types using space-constrained hierarchical clustering: core, suburb, outskirt. Polynomial fitting used characterize spatial Pearson correlation Mantel test employed examine effects factors, including longitude, latitude, altitude, distance from center, temperature, illumination, on diversity. 313 vascular species, comprising 137 woody species herbaceous examined. Along gradients, remarkable variations for observed. The consistent across cities, whereas displayed opposite behavior. Distance city center temperature most substantial effect plants, light had a major impact plants. These findings show different life-type affected differently by urbanization, they offer managers planners recommendation increasing executing various interventions throughout gradient.

1Synergistic Impacts of Built-Up Characteristics and Background Climate on Urban Vegetation Phenology: Evidence from Beijing, China
Forests, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15(4), P. 728 - 728
Published: April 21, 2024
Vegetation is an important strategy for mitigating heat island effects, owed to its shading and evaporative cooling functions. However, urbanization has significantly affected regional vegetation phenology can potentially weaken the potential of vegetation. Previous studies have mainly focused on national phenology, but local-scale dynamic variations in built-up areas remain unclear. Therefore, this study characterized densely area Beijing, China over period 2000–2020 based high-resolution NDVI data using Savitzky–Golay filtering explored spatiotemporal characteristics drivers. The results indicate that exhibits significant spatial heterogeneity clustering characteristics. Compared with peripheral blocks, central urban blocks generally earlier start growing season (SOS), later end (EOS), a longer length (GSL). overall distribution these parameters experienced process decentralization along urbanization. In terms drivers, indicators are influenced by background climate. Specifically, SOS GSL temperature (TEP), whereas EOS annual precipitation (PRE). Additionally, local environmental factors, particularly percentage water body (WAP), also impact. Notably, environment climate synergistic effect which greater than their individual effects. Overall, extends current knowledge response investigating long-term dynamics dense provides new insights into complex interactions between built environments.

1Different phenological behaviour of native and exotic grasses extends the period of pollen exposure with clinical implications in the Madrid Region, Spain
Biological Invasions, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 26(7), P. 2171 - 2182

Abstract Exotic allergenic species constitute an important element of global change and are emergent health issue in Europe due to their potential allergenicity. The grass pollen season is great importance from the allergic point view because it includes ubiquitous which responsible for high sensitization rates. In this study, we used flowering phenology data dominant city Madrid (Spain) airborne explore differences between native exotic contribution observed peaks exposure. We found that grasses flowered later than Mediterranean grasses, ornamental (such as Cortaderia selloana Pennisetum villosum ) cause unusual second autumn with implications public health. These results support need coordinate efforts plant ecologists aerobiologists protect population by identifying sources sustain appropriate urban plans.
