Do Neighborhood Factors Modify the Effects of Lead Exposure on Child Behavior?
Toxics, 2022 Lead exposure and neighborhoods can affect children’s behavior, but it is unclear if neighborhood characteristics modify the effects of lead on behavior. Understanding these modifications has important intervention implications.

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 ...

Population-level linkages between urban greenspace and health inequality : the case for using multiple indicators of neighbourhood greenspace [PDF]
, 2020 Exposure to greenspace in urban environments is associated with a range of improved health and well-being outcomes. There is a need to understand which aspects of greenspace influence which components of health.

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.

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.

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.

Urban foraging in Brazilian public greenspaces
Ambio, 2023 Abstract Urban foraging, i.e., the gathering of wild edible plants, plays a key role in nature connection within cities. Its integration in planning could contribute to the conservation of urban biodiversity. However, we have little understanding of the interactions between the motivations for and barriers to foraging, and the role of legislation ...

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 Design for Airports
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020 Abstract This research seeks to substantiate the need for special psychophysical recreation areas (closed greenspaces) at international and regional airports. To that end, the researcher has: studied the medical and psychological impact of flight on human condition; considered the creation and maintenance of greenspaces from the ...
