Greenspaces near residential areas are crucial for supporting mental well-being and mitigating urban stressors. While various studies have demonstrated the benefits of greenspaces for stress recovery, the constraints to experiencing these benefits are less explored. This study aims to explore the multidimensional factors constraining psychological restoration in everyday outdoor activities, to inform urban planning and enhance environmental psychology theories. In an online survey 1134 Swiss residents were presented with an open-ended question about the constraints they experienced during their latest outdoor activity, along with closed-ended questions about their personal traits, the activity performed, and the restorativeness of the experience. Through an inductive coding process followed by a deductive classification, we identified a wide range of constraints and categorized them into structural, interpersonal, and intrapersonal constraints, further distinguishing between supply and demand factors. Structural supply constraints were predominant, particularly overcrowding, traffic, and noise, which negatively correlated with the perceived restorativeness of the environment. Intrapersonal demand constraints, such as thoughts and stress were mentioned frequently, and hindered restoration outcomes. Women and younger adults were more frequently affected by these constraints. Results underscore the subjective and context-dependent nature of restorative experiences in everyday environments, shaped by the interplay of individual, societal, and environmental factors. Our findings highlight the need for inclusive planning and social measures to support vulnerable groups in enhancing the restorative potential of outdoor activities in nearby greenspaces.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":"107 ","pages":"Article 128746"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143686183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantifying perceptions of urban parks presents significant changes. Recently, social media data has been increasingly used for studying landscape perceptions, preferences, and management. With the advent of deep learning techniques, the performance of NLP tasks has seen considerable improvement. We posed research questions at the methodological level: How could deep learning-based NLP methods be constructed to assess the multidimensional perception (MDP) of urban parks? How could the assessment performance of this method be validated? In this study, we constructed an MDP of urban parks assessment model based on ERNIE and subsequently conducted a questionnaire survey. By comparing the differences and similarities between the two data sets, we verified the model's assessment performance and proposed the application potential of deep learning-based methods. The findings indicated: (1) our model effectively obtained and assessed sentiment information from online reviews about park accessibility, safety, aesthetics, attractiveness, maintenance, and usability with an accuracy rate exceeding 80 %. (2) The questionnaire survey data confirmed the model's high efficacy, showing consistency in accessibility, aesthetics, and maintenance, but inconsistency in attractiveness and usability due to differences in data expression and timeliness. (3) Deep learning-based NLP methods significantly enhanced sentiment analysis of social media data, showing great potential for practical applications. The results could enhance the performance of sentiment analysis on social media data, serving as a decision-aid tool for park managers and policymakers, and providing valuable insights and guidance for park construction and management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":"107 ","pages":"Article 128754"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143611616","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}

Adopting Santa Cruz de Tenerife —Spain— as a case study, geolocated social media data was used to integrate user preferences into the definition and diagnosis of the UGI, emphasizing the significance of aligning infrastructure development with community needs and desires. As a result, social media data provided rich insights into the popularity and connectivity of natural spaces, attractor hubs, and key urban corridors, enabling to achieve a complex reading of the urban activity dynamics taking place in open spaces. Additionally, the user-generated data revealed frequently used routes connecting urban and natural environments as well as dynamic mobility trends across the urban landscape.

Accurate mapping of these species is crucial for effective management of their prevention and mitigation. This study focuses on the detection of invasive shrub species in forested areas of the Chicago metropolitan region using high-density airborne LiDAR data and high-resolution imagery. We analyzed the structural and spectral characteristics of forests with and without invasive shrub species. We tested whether forests with invasive shrub species have a simpler canopy structure than those not invaded, and whether high-density LiDAR based structural metrics are more effective in detecting the presence of invasive shrub species than spectral-based NDVI. Our binomial logistic model demonstrated a test accuracy rate of 93 % for detecting invasive shrub species. Our findings show that forest patches invaded by these species exhibit higher vegetation area density, lower height, and lower NDVI (full leaf on season) values than non-invaded patches. LiDAR-derived canopy structural metrics are shown to be more effective than NDVI for detecting invasive shrub species. To ensure the reliability of our predicted map, we tested correspondence between our invasion estimation map with the ground identified samples that were not used in model testing and training. These validation results demonstrated the predictive ability of our model, showing accuracy rates of 83 % and 77 % for tree survey (DBH &gt; 5 cm) and shrub survey (Height &gt; 1 m &amp; DBH &lt; 5 cm), respectively.

The diameter at breast height (DBH) of 841 <em>Cinnamomum camphora (L.)

The results showed that the allometric growth relationship between urban tree DBH and TH was less stable than that of natural forests, which was related to the variation of the competition between individuals and building shading. In terms of determination coefficient (R<sup>2</sup>), UAV remote sensing could estimate urban tree DBH (R<sup>2</sup>=0.62) and carbon storage (R<sup>2</sup>=0.71) using multivariate estimation models in which all the input parameters was obtainable from UAV. Unexpectedly, the carbon storage of individual tree was positively correlated with competition intensity between canopies and building shading.

While both objective and subjective measures have been adopted to associate urban greenspaces with public health and wellbeing, little attention has been paid to the nuanced serial mediation effects of objective matrices of greenspaces on residents’ subjective perception, use behaviors, and health/wellbeing. Using Hong Kong, one of the most densely-populated cities in the world, as a case study, a total of 1196 residents were surveyed, whose residential locations are geo-coded and a serious of objective measures of greenspace provision within 500-meter walking distance, including size, proximity, crowdedness, naturalness, facilities, and maintenance, are established using street view images, satellite images, and digital topographic maps. Potential pathways are constructed to link objective measures of greenspace provision, subjective matrices, use behaviors, and self-rated health and wellbeing, directly or indirectly via serial mediation model. Empirical results show that subjective measures of greenspaces play significant mediating roles in associating objective greenspace provision with residents’ health and wellbeing. Additionally, serial mediation effects of subjective satisfaction and use behaviors could be specified for greenspace-health relationship, but not greenspace-wellbeing relationship. This study extends the conventional knowledge base of greenspace-health/wellbeing association established from the direct/indirect pathways to account for the serial mediating role of subjective perception and use behaviors, and sheds additional light on the effects of urban greenspaces on public health and wellbeing based on individual-level analysis in a high-density urban context.

Flood duration and the proportion of urban green space within a 500 m radius (PGS) adversely affected riparian plant TD.

Fragmented, heterogeneous surrounding landscapes drive plant invasions. Phylogenetic structure was aggregated, indicating an environmental filtering strategy of the riparian plant community. Plant PD was positively related to riparian position and soil pH. It was also negatively affected by PGS probably due to fragmentation in nearby urban green spaces.

High pressure from non-native species and a prevalence of edge effects often characterizes urban forests, but how the confluence of these factors alters tree species composition and structure remains uncertain. We hypothesized that edge effects would increase urban forest basal area and stem density but also shift tree communities towards higher abundances of non-native species. We tested these hypotheses in the forests of New York City, New York using two approaches that employ: (1) high spatial resolution data from 8 transect-style plots and (2) a New York City-wide ecological assessment that includes 1124 plots. We find that urbanization and fragmentation each play a distinct role in shaping the structure and composition of the urban forest. Forest basal area and stem density were significantly higher near forest edges compared to the interior. By contrast, edge effects had only a small impact on the occupancy rates of non-natives in the canopy. Instead, we found evidence of compositional shifts between the canopy and regenerating forest strata exemplified by native oaks (Quercus spp.), which currently dominate the canopy, being replaced within the regenerating stratum by other native and non-native species. Taken together, these findings suggest that urban forests likely store more carbon than initially assumed, but also that the urban forests of tomorrow will likely be compositionally different, with important implications for ecosystem function.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":"107 ","pages":"Article 128745"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143592162","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}
