The restorative effects of various environmental factors within urban forests on physical and mental health exhibit significant differences. Specifically, vegetation types topographical slope positions are key elements contributing to the heterogeneity forests. However, there is a lack studies that have concurrently examined restoration both factors. This study conducted an empirical experiment university students in during autumn season, investigating different physiological psychological restoration, identifying these effects. results show following: (1) Urban with varying effects, coniferous offering greater benefits than coniferous–broadleaf mixed (2) Slope position affects restoration. In forests, at top midslope compared bottom position; best occur position. (3) influencing panoramic green coverage elevation. (4) temperature, humidity, wind speed affecting reveals differences under positions, identifies provides theoretical basis for further research impact human health. Future forest layout design should fully consider characteristics optimize microclimate regulation, maximize their role promoting public
