Current research tends to concentrate on methodological studies of supply and demand, neglecting comprehensive multidimensional evaluation. This study constructed a multidimensional spatial inequality evaluation framework encompassing three dimensions—supply capacity, supply quality, and actual demand—from the perspective of multidimensional inequality. Taking the megacity of Shanghai, China as an example, the spatial inequality of Shanghai's parks was evaluated by employing the spatial superposition method to analyze multidimensional data, incorporating indicators such as park accessibility, service quality and capacity, and utilization frequency. The results indicated significant spatial inequality in the supply and demand of parks in Shanghai, with the central city exhibiting a more pronounced mismatch than the surrounding areas. This is primarily because larger parks are concentrated in central cities with higher urbanization levels, the supply of smaller parks is insufficient, and the overall distribution of parks is uneven, leading to a prominent contradiction between supply and demand. This framework can evaluate the supply and demand of urban parks more accurately from various perspectives than traditional methods, providing a scientific and systematic evaluation tool for urban planning and policymaking. For instance, when devising a city's housing policy, the tool, may be employed to evaluate housing conditions and affordability across communities. This enables policymakers to formulate targeted housing improvement plans, thereby enhancing living conditions, mitigating housing inequality, and rationally allocating public resources. In addition, as a global mega city, Shanghai is highly representative in terms of urban expansion and land resource supply and demand, and establishing an accurate framework of evaluation can provide references for other cities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":"113 ","pages":"Article 129016"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144890968","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}

Results showed higher plant species richness and diversity in meadows, which enhances biodiversity conservation by providing improved habitats and resources for urban wildlife. Lawns showed higher soil organic matter, total carbon (C), and nitrogen (N), suggesting carbon sequestration potential. However, meadow soils had higher carbon-to-nitrogen ratios and lower plant available N, implying efficient N utilization and potential for reduced leaching into groundwater. Additionally, meadows contained lower plant available phosphorus, potassium, and certain trace metals, demonstrating their ability to reduce the pollutants from leaching into the ground or surface water. Moreover, meadows showed higher arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi abundance and fungal-to-bacterial ratios, indicating enhanced soil health potential (e.g., nutrient cycling and soil structure). Overall, urban lawns can sequester greenhouse gases, while meadows support biodiversity, may act as natural filters for excessive nutrients and pollutants, and improve soil health.

This study presents a novel method, the Line-based green view index (LGVI), using remote sensing data, which makes it possible to calculate GVI at any given location in a city. We tested the method in a residential community, which resulted in a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.156 when compared to values derived from panoramic photographs. The bias is primarily attributed to the inaccuracies of the input data. Compared with existing GVI methods using remote sensing data, LGVI substantially reduces computational complexity, and thereby enhances the calculation efficiency by converting 3D viewing into linear height projections along sightlines. It further ensures accuracy through distance-based visibility filtering, which realistically simulates human visual occlusion. Consequently, the method achieves an optimal balance between processing time and computational precision. With free access to data of building and tree canopy height for global cities, the proposed method facilitates fast and accurate GVI estimation for cities worldwide.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":"113 ","pages":"Article 129013"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144893362","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}

While all interviewees were commercial farmers, they all expressed a variety of goals beyond profit-making, including, notably, goals related to environmental sustainability, improving food security, and community resource development. A hierarchical cluster analysis revealed three primary groups of farmers: Newcomer Idealist Environmentalists, Ethical Civic Stewards, and Business-minded Community Builders. This understanding of urban farmers’ goals, motivations, and reasons for farming, coupled with the understanding of these three distinct clusters provides the foundation to develop targeted educational tools and resources.

The research employed a two-phase methodology: administering standardized psychological assessments through short Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) and Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI), followed by the application of the Boosted Regression Tree model to analyze the potential associations of urban landscape and environmental stress on elderly mental health. Results show that: (1) Environmental stress is generally more important for elderly mental disorders than urban landscape.

Although research in environmental psychology and landscape ecology suggests that visual and ecological quality are often correlated through spatial characteristics, their systematic integration remains limited, largely due to disciplinary boundaries and methodological constraints. Visual landscape studies emphasize human perceptual and aesthetic values, often using qualitative assessments, while landscape ecology focuses on ecosystem processes and spatial patterns, typically relying on quantitative analysis. To bridge the above divide, this study conducts a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore shared spatial characteristics, defined as the composition and configuration of landscape elements, that underpin both perspectives. Four common spatial dimensions emerged: naturalness, spaciousness, coherence, and complexity. These abstract dimensions were further translated into measurable landscape metrics, capturing spatial patterns relevant to both ecological function and visual perception. Moreover, a set of spatial metrics collectively address both horizontal and vertical perspectives of landscape structure, encompassing indicators that reflect ecological integrity and visual quality across spatial planes. This research offers a promising framework for understanding shared spatial characteristics and evaluating spatial metrics that concurrently support biodiversity conservation and the maintenance of visually appealing landscapes, thereby fostering harmonious coexistence between humans and wildlife.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 129007"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145057072","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}

Across the Sacramento, CA, USA urban heat gradient, we assessed the extent to which London plane (<em>Platanus x acerifolia</em>) and valley oak (<em>Quercus lobata</em>) display plasticity in leaf morphological traits relevant to heat tolerance. We then assessed crown condition to determine whether leaf plasticity underlies the sensitivity of trees to urban heat. Valley oak leaves were smaller at hotter sites, and had higher leaf mass per area under hot irrigated conditions, which functions to improve leaf heat tolerance. At hotter sites, London plane developed larger leaves which were less suited for hot environments; although leaf dissection increased slightly, the increase in leaf perimeter per area was much smaller than the increase in overall leaf area. These patterns were reflected in crown condition. Leaf plasticity appears to allow valley oak to avoid crown damage if enough water is available. Our findings point to leaf developmental plasticity as a mechanism by which trees respond to urban heat and, to some extent, maintain crown condition in hot environments. Developmental plasticity of leaves under warming may be a key characteristic of trees that are able to maintain crown condition as the climate warms.
