Greenspace and human microbiota: A systematic review

Environment International
Potential effect of greenspace exposure on human microbiota have been explored by a number of observational and interventional studies, but the results remained mixed. We comprehensively synthesized these studies by performing a systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.Comprehensive ...

Home range and core area characteristics of urban and rural coyotes and red foxes in southern Wisconsin

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Second‐order habitat selection is influenced by a variety of factors, including individual‐ and species‐specific traits and resource requirements, as well as landscape characteristics. By comparing home range characteristics across individuals, species, and landscapes, we can draw conclusions regarding whether and how different factors influence home ...

The Value of Greenspace Under Pandemic Lockdown [PDF]

Environmental and Resource Economics, 2020
AbstractThe COVID-19 outbreak resulted in unprecedented restrictions on citizen’s freedom of movement as governments moved to institute lockdowns designed to reduce the spread of the virus. While most out-of-home leisure activities were prohibited, in England the lockdown rules allowed for restricted use of outdoor greenspace for the purposes of ...

Where greenspace matters most: A systematic review of urbanicity, greenspace, and physical health

Landscape and Urban Planning, 2022
Abstract Greenspace in urban areas may have greater protective health effects than elsewhere. Urban dwellers experience more environmental harmful exposures, attentional demands, and stressors than their suburban/rural counterparts. In this systematic review, we synthesize the results of studies that examined how the greenspace and health ...

Nocturnal neighbors: exploring residents' perceptions of urban wildlife related to animal traits identified by camera traps and literature

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife in urban areas is often a source of conflict, yet relatively few efforts have been directed toward fostering coexistence in these human‐dominated landscapes. While previous research has focused on socio‐demographic factors influencing perceptions of wildlife, the role of specific animal traits in shaping acceptance remains underexplored.

Concrete jungle to urban oasis: evaluating scale, vegetation cover, and aggregation of urban greenspaces on wildlife

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban greenspaces are a haven for wildlife in densely populated cities. Wildlife use greenspaces for resource acquisition, shelter, and travel across urbanized landscapes. Greenspace metrics such as herbaceous or woody landcover, size, patchiness, and human land use influence species richness.

Greenspace, urbanity and health: relationships in England [PDF]

Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 2007
Objectives: To determine the association between the percentage of greenspace in an area and the standardised rate of self-reported “not good” health, and to explore whether this association holds for areas exhibiting different combinations of urbanity and income deprivation.

GROWING GREEN IN US SUBURBIA: Property Value, Race and Domestic Landscaping Aesthetics in Mid‐Century America

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Much of the current popular and academic literature on the provision of green spaces is dominated by the assumption that ‘nature’ is an unalloyed positive, and that socioeconomic and racial exclusion from access to green spaces is a problem of unequal spatial distribution rather than of the form and content of particular urban designs.

Associations between greenspace and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and sedentary time in adolescents

Discover Cities
This study explored the relationships between greenspace and adolescents’ moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary time, and whether the relationships were moderated by sociodemographic factors (sex, ethnicity, age and neighbourhood ...

Psychological benefits of greenspace increase with biodiversity [PDF]

Biology Letters, 2007
The world's human population is becoming concentrated into cities, giving rise to concerns that it is becoming increasingly isolated from nature. Urban public greenspaces form the arena of many people's daily contact with nature and such contact has measurable physical and psychological benefits.
