A qualitative analysis combined with a quantitative survey was conducted to study how people perceive the qualities of three typical UGSs in a Chinese city. Our dataset consisted of 10,485 online review records left by UGS users and 9 semistructured interviews, which helped us identify the attributes of the perceived qualities of UGSs from the perspective of users rather than from the perspective of planners or policy makers. Results showed that people care about service quality, intelligent management and location, which is slightly different from the concept of distance-based location. These perceived qualities have a hierarchical internal structure and reveal people’s decision-making process from meeting their basic needs to evoking their highest level of sense of place. Policy implications and suggestions were also provided based on the results.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142149292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The danger of high temperatures is especially pronounced in cities due to the urban heat island effect. Trees can greatly reduce surface temperatures and mitigate the urban heat island effect through evapotranspiration and by reflecting solar radiation before it is absorbed by impervious surfaces. However, trees may also be physiologically susceptible to the effects of climate change as high temperatures exceed their physiological limits. In this study, we assessed how the urban tree community in subtropical Miami (Florida, USA) will be impacted by climate warming and how impacts will differ between native and exotic tree species. We calculated the thermal safety margin (TSM) in Miami for each of 235 tree species as the difference between the maximum temperature experienced by a species within its range and the current and future (2100) projected maximum temperature in the city. We also combined TSMs, a metric of resilience to heat, with each species’ drought, wind, and salt tolerance to identify species that are resilient to multiple relevant stressors. We found that by 2100 Miami will be too hot for 16–41 % of the tree species currently planted in the city, depending on the climate change scenario. Native tree species will be disproportionately impacted compared to exotics, likely because most exotic species originate in the tropics, whereas most species native to Miami are primarily subtropical or temperate. The species that are more resilient to multiple stressors include mostly native species, several of which are ideal shade trees. Urban greening initiatives should carefully consider tree plantings to optimize the long-term health of urban tree communities and the services that they can provide to cities in the future.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142149293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found that NGOs also advocate for several interrelated topics related to green space equity (e.g., environmental issues, social services), engage numerous policy actors in campaigns (e.g., politicians, youth), and use other strategies such as coalitions, power building, and research. NGOs working to address green space inequities also need to contend with other systemic issues affecting underserved communities (e.g., poverty, health disparities).

This study examines crime and tree canopy cover through a series of spatial analyses for São Paulo city, Brazil, while controlling for potential confounders. We tested six levels of data aggregation that were combined with three different crime types and two denominators of crime, to account for spurious findings from Modifiable Areal Unit Problems (MAUP). Of the 36 models, a majority of 27 models (75 %) indicate a negative relationship between crime and tree cover canopy, while 4 models (11 %) show a positive correlation, and 5 models (14 %) suggest no statistically significant relationship. Our best models allow us to infer that 10 % greater tree canopy cover is associated with a 1.20 % fewer property, personal and total reported crimes, with statistical significance at the p < 0.001 level. These findings support our hypothesis that there is a negative relationship between tree canopy cover and crime, with a stronger association observed for property crime than personal or total crime. The negative relationship persisted independently of the level of data aggregation, crime types, crime denominator and spatial models specifications (lag and SARMA), avoiding statistical bias of MAUP.

Therefore, the potential of forestry- and agriculture-derived supplements in urban greening was investigated.

Temporal shifts in the relative abundance and richness of previously health-associated bacteria were evident. The method of enriching lawn soil with side streams appears to elicit desired shifts in health-associated microbial taxa.

Whether or not urban landscapes can sustain diverse pollinator and plant communities is an important question to be addressed. Here, we investigated the influence of urbanization on plant-hummingbird interaction networks in a large tropical city, Belo Horizonte, Brazil. We recorded 13198 legitimate interactions between seven hummingbirds and 57 plant species across 12 local networks. Urban landscapes exhibited predominantly generalized networks, maintaining this pattern across varying vegetation cover and floral resource abundance. Although some functionally specialized hummingbirds with long bills were recorded performing more specialized interactions, urban environments did not generally support specialized networks. Nevertheless, network specialization did increase with the proportion of native nectar plants, emphasizing their importance for maintaining some specialized interactions. Furthermore, we observed a positive effect of plant richness, but not of flower abundance, on hummingbird abundance, indicating that it is not only the amount of flowers, but the diversity of floral resources that may be a key factor in maintaining hummingbirds. Therefore, promoting a diverse assemblage of native plants in urban green areas is crucial for sustainable pollinator communities. Our study highlights that while a biodiverse urban landscape will require careful urban vegetation planning considering both floral resource diversity and availability, vegetation cover per se may not be sufficient to mitigate the negative impacts of urbanization. Maintaining a diverse vegetation with different life forms, flowering phenology, and especially of native plants across the urban landscape is needed to create welcoming spaces for pollinators.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142149289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
