The impact of landscape patterns on urban plant diversity has received significant attention; however, previous studies have primarily focused two-dimensional (2D) patterns. Limited investigations been conducted to explore the effects three-dimensional (3D) diversity. Spontaneous plants are ideal objects for studying response environments due their independence from intentional human inputs. Buildings, as a crucial symbol urbanization, exhibit strong 3D characteristics in landscapes. Green spaces, most important source propagules cities, closely related spontaneous areas. Therefore, we examined how 2D/3D building and green space influence species richness compared responses between different categories (native non-native). We surveyed built-up areas Shenzhen, highly urbanized region situated along China’s southern coast. Our survey recorded 278 belonging 208 genera 77 families. Results boosted regression tree models (BRT) indicated correlations various metrics, including coverage ratio (BCR), mean height (MAH), (GCR), edge density spaces (ED_G), spatial congestion degree (SCD), floor area (FAR). These metrics exhibited complex nonlinear with plants. Furthermore, native non-native responded differently patterns; while was equally affected by patterns, more strongly impacted than ones. study quantified relationships demonstrating that optimizing can be practical approach managing promoting

As global climate change and urban issues worsen, increasing carbon offsets is crucial, with plants playing a key role. However, research on assessing plant sequestration (CSE) capacity at the regional scale, selecting plants, optimizing CSE capacity-based scenarios still limited. A total of 272 species were surveyed in nine cities Zhengzhou Metropolitan Area (ZMA). The i-Tree biomass models estimated average storage (CS) density 9.32 kg C m−2 0.55 y−2 ZMA. highest CS (13.58 m−2) was observed Pingdingshan, while lowest (0.36 y−1 Xuchang. Hierarchical cluster analyses identified balanced capacity, adaptability, ornamental value, such as Populus tomentosa Carr. Salix babylonica L., well shrubs like Abelia biflora Turcz Kerria japonica (L.) DC. Vegetation regeneration modeling indicated that could increase by 37%–41% along roads, 28%–43% amenity areas, 17%–30% near waterfronts over next 50 years. These findings serve reference for planning aimed enhancing reduction potential green spaces (UGS).

Urban voids, such as vacant lots, brownfields, fallow land, wasteland, and the spaces between buildings, have potential to serve habitats for a diverse range of plants. However, their value plant conservation remains understudied because informal neglected nature. The aim this systematic review is consider urban voids contribute biodiversity. A total 55 studies from 14 countries were analysed geographical trends, factors influencing biodiversity, research methods, relevant environmental parameters. results study show that diversity can be divided into three main categories: biophysical, temporal, landscape factors. Biophysical factors, size, age, soil, vegetation structure, well temporal including site management human interventions, are most important at site-level scale. In contrast, location distance other green spaces, more dominant larger has identified significant limitation in available literature, with relatively few examining influence voids’ shape, ownership, microclimate on With respect suggest recent increase use GIS-based remote sensing techniques investigate voids. findings discussed paper indicate need further comprehensively understand promote

Introduction With the acceleration of urbanization, human population and built surface in urban areas have increased rapidly, triggering numerous environmental problems. Identification ecological security pattern (ESP) can be helpful to optimize interaction relationship between conservation socioeconomic development a given region. In this study, taking Chengdu City as an example, methodology was used analyze city’s ESP. Methodology Ecological sources were identified based on their values, which derived from spatio-temporal evaluation ecosystem services health. The resistance revised with nighttime light index. Linkage Mapper combined circuit theory extracted corridors key nodes. Results: results showed that mean values presented downward then upward trend 2000 2018. 2018, ESP formed by 140 total area 8,819.78 km 2 , 302 456.91 well 61 pinch-points 17 barrier points. mainly distributed or nearby Longmen Mountain Longquan Mountain, two flanks Plain, connected each other hundreds corridors. Most composited forests mountainous linpan units (wooded lots) rural plain areas. On contrary, points districts metropolitan center. Conclusion Finally, study proposed constructing must adopt dynamic holistic approach considering change restoring ecosystems, shift demands for transformation urban-rural land use/cover. Restoring managing sustainably are important improving connectivity all over city, together, if functioning well, could further support realization sustainable urbanization.

ABSTRACT Background: Natural ecosystems provide necessary services for human beings, including ecosystem service values (ESVs) and socioeconomic (SSVs). The value orientations of ESVs SSVs are mainly related to people’s interaction with nature. This study reclassified greenspace from a perspective exposed non-exposed based on the level by people greenspace. We applied an expert questionnaire survey forestland, grassland, wetland, water bodies, quantitatively compared between in China. Result: (1) were relatively far higher than greenspace, as it had both SSVs. (2) forestland grassland high SSVs, priority (3) Wetland but low which was unpopular (4) body balanced. Conclusion: Greenspace when they human. Our provided innovative explore provides actionable scientific basis planning, design construction habitat.
