Most nature and health research use the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) for
measuring greenness exposure. However, little is known about what NDVI measures in …

The global increase in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) presents a critical public health
concern. Emerging evidence suggests that exposure to natural environments may reduce …

The “mobility turn” in environmental health studies promoted the integrated 3S (GIS, GPS,
and remote sensing) approach in the study of urban residents' exposure to green space and …

Many studies have reported that urbanization leads to a decrease in the normalized
difference vegetation index (NDVI) due to the expansion of impervious cover. Some studies …

Abstract The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a popular proxy of urban
greenspace (UGS). However, it's unclear how NDVI approximates physical characteristics of …

Surface soil nitrogen (SN) is the main source of plant nutrient uptake, and its dynamic
change is related to forest productivity, ecosystem carbon and nitrogen cycles, and water …

Urban greenspaces are pivotal in enhancing the well-being and health of city residents.
Accurate assessment of an individual's exposure to these natural settings is thus crucial in …

Background Many studies on environment-health associations have emphasized that the
selected buffer size (ie, the scale of the geographic context when exposures are assigned at …

Background: There are few studies on the health effects of long-term exposure to
neighborhood greenness in a longitudinal setting, especially in Asian countries with high …

Penguin colonies significantly influence the distribution and diversity of vegetation
communities in Maritime Antarctica, as they serve as vital sources of nutrients for both …
