We aimed to determine whether <em>R. pseudoacacia</em>-dominated stands in fertile urban forests influenced species composition and vegetation functions similarly to those dominated by the native <em>Pinus sylvestris</em> L. We compared species composition, analyzed alpha diversity, and assessed the invasional meltdown hypothesis, by evaluating non-native species abundance in both stand types. We collected data from 68 sample plots in urban forests in two Polish cities, recording species occurrence and vascular plant cover, using the Braun-Blanquet scale. Our results showed that <em>R. pseudoacacia</em> locally increased biodiversity by promoting nitrophilous, ruderal, and edge species without negatively affecting typical forest species. <em>R. pseudoacacia</em> further facilitated shade-tolerant species such as <em>Acer</em> spp., confirming that mixed stands with <em>R. pseudoacacia</em> in fertile habitats represented only a temporary successional stage. Since <em>R. pseudoacacia</em> and <em>P. sylvestris</em> had similar effects on habitat conversion and non-native species occurrence, we found no support for the invasional meltdown hypothesis. Our findings suggested that <em>R. pseudoacacia</em> could be tolerated in fertile urban forests as part of a mixed forest structure rather than prioritized for removal. We recommend that forest management focus on site-specific assessments of non-native species impact and emphasize increasing forest resistance to invasions, particularly by maintaining high canopy cover.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":"113 ","pages":"Article 129079"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145220151","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}

Since 2010, Central Chile has experienced anunprecedented megadrought, with extreme years (2019 and 2021) considered as hyperdrought. Prolonged water stress can compromise vegetation’s ability to provide key ecosystem services in urban environments, making it critical to understand urban greening evolution under such climatic pressure. In this study, we assessed the spatiotemporal impacts of the megadrought and hyperdrought on the Gran Valparaíso urban and periurban vegetation. Vegetation trends and extreme greenness anomalies were analyzed using Landsat harmonized time series of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the non-parametric <em>npphen</em> method alongside precipitation to better understand climate-vegetation relationships. Results show negative effects of the megadrought in urban and periurban vegetation regardless the level of management, showing similar temporal patterns even for public urban green spaces where artificial watering is likely being applied. However, spatial patterns showed unequal levels of affectation. Inland and periurban communes were particularly vulnerable, showing a stronger correlation to precipitation while coastal communes like Viña del Mar showed vegetation patterns less dependent on winter rainfall, suggesting the influence of differential urban planning. Additionally, the analysis identified specific city sectors that diverged from the general trend of desiccation likely linked to localized urban processes. Our results suggest that urban management was not able to stop the negative consequences of the megadrought and, that in a global change scenario, the future urban greening planning should consider that the Gran Valparaíso will face droughts more frequently.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":"113 ","pages":"Article 129080"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145219571","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}

Sterile ornamental cultivars have been proposed as a promising response, offering the potential to reduce allergenic pollen loads and limit invasive spread. However their deployment in urban green infrastructure cannot be assessed solely on biological grounds; it requires a broader understanding of ecological trade-offs, regulatory frameworks, public acceptance, and long-term economic feasibility. Ecologically, sterility may reduce pollen and seed production, but it can also simultaneously limit floral resources for pollinators, decrease genetic diversity in nursery stocks, and even risk fertility reversion through hybridization or mutation. These trade-offs highlight the need for diversified planting schemes that combine sterile lines with pollinator-supporting species, as well as continuous genetic and ecological monitoring. From a regulatory standpoint, heterogeneity across regions complicates implementation, with some countries treating sterility as a biosafety advantage, while others impose GMO-related restrictions that delay commercialization. Public acceptance further shapes outcomes: while residents may welcome reductions in nuisance fruiting and allergens, cultural attachment to fruiting trees and skepticism toward biotechnological breeding can hinder the adoption of these measure. Effective communication and demonstration projects are therefore crucial for building trust and highlighting both benefits and limitations. Economic considerations also play a decisive role: although the propagation of sterile lines often entails higher initial costs, potential long-term savings in maintenance, allergen management, and invasive species control can justify the investment if supported by reliable cost–benefit analyses. Taken together, sterility should be regarded not as a universal solution but as a targeted instrument within integrated urban greening strategies. Its success depends on aligning ecological performance with regulatory clarity, public trust, and economic justification, ensuring that sterile cultivars contribute to healthier, more resilient, and socially meaningful urban landscapes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":"113 ","pages":"Article 129083"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145219480","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 increase in Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was more substantial in D-grade neighborhoods than in A-grade neighborhoods. When comparing A and D-grade parcels, the spatial regression results show that an increase in NDVI between 2012 and 2022 was associated with an escalation of property values exclusively in D-grade parcels. This suggests that, within redlined neighborhoods, increased vegetation growth in green space holds significant value. The interaction effect between vegetation growth and park accessibility showed that price appreciation linked to increased vegetation density on private parcels was more pronounced for parcels located farther from parks than for those nearby.

Constraints to dog-park visitation were relatively low and consistent with ‘nature social enthusiasts’ more constrained by dog-health status, while both ‘nature social enthusiasts’ and ‘solitary dog visitors’ were constrained by rules, likely due to their significantly higher visitation and exposure to them than the other two segments. All visitors were willing to travel at least twice the distance to a dog-park than their current trip, which can inform typical travel routes and system needs.

To address the negative impacts of urban development on the natural environment, nature-positive development has been promoted as an alternative approach that seeks to regenerate and enhance nature. Numerous practice-based tools have emerged to support assessment of nature-based solutions' impacts within spatial planning and development, tools that in this study have been termed Sustainable Spatial Development Tools (SSDTs). However, research has identified challenges in the application of SSDTs, particularly in enabling comprehensive assessments and alignment with user needs and capacities. These challenges raise the risk of continued degradation of nature as part of development. Following a practitioner survey to scope the most commonly used SSDTs in a UK context, a systematic mapping approach was used to review academic literature, grey literature, and tool user/technical guides. Data on SSDTs used in the UK were critically compared against nature-based solutions societal challenge themes, trade-off strategies and requirement/recognition in planning, and the tools’ strengths and limitations. Compared to previous knowledge, this paper adopts a practitioner-led approach to evaluate various tools used to inform nature recovery, and summarises the findings in relation to how the outcomes can be optimised for the strategy, planning, and delivery of urban renaturing. The evaluation uncovered new insights for decision-making, enabling practitioners to consider various aspects of sustainable development principles. This included how the multiple considerations and variety of evidence required for each tool can lead to diverse actualised outcomes for nature. Synthesised analysis also revealed that while SSDTs included approaches for calculating broad nature-based solution benefits and supporting nature-positive development, most were poor at estimating socio-economic outcomes of nature-positive urban planning. The novel map of SSDTs produced in this paper supports practitioners in navigating the benefits and barriers of SSDTs to select tools for comprehensive deliberation in urban nature-positive development, including assisting them in identifying the most appropriate tool(s), and combining tools effectively, for different planning and development contexts. Future research into their practical application requires empirical investigation into users’ experience of SSDTs’ strengths, weaknesses, and complementarity. The understanding provided is vital in supporting practitioners to deliver on the global mandate for nature-positive development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":"113 ","pages":"Article 129075"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145157812","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}
