This study investigated whether preferences and biodiversity are compatible in an urban
green space setting and whether people actually recognise and appreciate ecologically rich …

Abstract Urbanization in North America has replaced many pre-existing natural
environments with artificial, human-populous environments of low biodiversity. Although …

Urbanisation is viewed as the most ecologically damaging change to land use worldwide,
posing significant threats to global biodiversity. However, studies from around the world …

Urbanization is a severe threat to global biodiversity, often leading to taxonomic and

Recognition of the Anthropocene epoch formally acknowledges the pervasive and
increasingly dominant effects of human activities on the world's biomes. A defining …

Urbanization has transformed more than 50% of the land area and brought the emergence
