Abstract Socio-economic and historical drivers shape urban nature distribution characteristics, as luxury (wealth-related) legacy (historical management) effects. Using remote sensing census data on biodiversity socio-economic indicators, we examined these effects vegetation cover in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country). We also tested the hypotheses regulating ecosystem services (ES) explored predictor interactions. Higher educational attainment positively correlated with biodiversity, confirming effect, but had no effect or ES. Older areas higher ES evidencing a an inverse response attributable to more recent management strategies promoting green spaces. Habitat quality amplified while population density strengthened effect. Our results suggest that is mainly driven by factors, are influenced legacies interaction density.

There is less than half the time left to achieve United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and progress toward SDGs obviously insufficient. The contribution of ecosystem services (ES) realization has received extensive attention, but systematic generalization recognition are still lacking. Based on a review challenge sustainable development, this study summarized ES's potential 17 SDGs, systematically reviewed empirical researches focused based RepOrting standards for Systematic Evidence Syntheses (ROSES). results found that from 1960s 2020s, gradually become more important in development. ES all different varies. In study, SDG2, SDG6, SDG13, SDG15 were strongly focused. SDG4, SDG5, SDG10, SDG16, SDG17 weakly Most explored supply at single scale, with lacked attention demand scale differences, insufficient intervention factors affecting SDGs. Faced above deficiencies, future research could deepen exploration following four perspectives: clarifying true contributions, exploring leverage point, integrating multi-scale focusing factors.

Humanity is faced with interacting socio-environmental challenges such as securing food while the climate changes and biodiversity declines. These global crises are partly caused by major land-use change arising from deforestation agriculture, exacerbated high demand for resource-intensive foods populations in Global North, which increasingly concentrated urban centres. The on system has stimulated research developing sustainable healthy sources of within cities. However, debates largely focus typically treeless agriculture tech-food approaches. This bias neglects pivotal role trees shrubs ecological cultural ecosystem service provision, thus multifunctional potential foraging "wild" or "semi-wild" cultivation designed forests near In a wide, emerging, multidisciplinary field, actual contribution woodlands to security other societal needs carbon sequestration habitat provision often remains taken-for-granted, implicit, ambiguous. To evaluate extent forestry North may generate socio-ecological win-win outcomes climate, society, we review evidence natural social sciences along four analytic dimensions: (1) change, (2) biodiversity, (3) production, (4) relational aspects. Our findings demonstrate multifactorial benefits forestry, but also flag risks disservices ascertained literature.

Urban vegetation is essential for the quality of life in cities. Despite direct loss during urban expansion, urbanization can indirectly enhance greening through various factors. Yet, it remains unclear what conditions promoted these trends within We quantified greenness 294 Chinese cities based on satellite imagery (2001–2018), which we then explained with climate and socioeconomic indicators, particularly considering National Garden Cities incentive program (NGC).
