Greenspace, physical activity, and BMI in children from two cities in northern Mexico

Preventive Medicine Reports, 2019
Numerous previous studies have reported positive associations between exposure to greenspace and children's physical activity, but in high-income countries only.

Urbanization Drives Patterns of Individual Specialization but Not Dietary Diversity Among Coyotes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Niche partitioning and resource specialization can lead to spatial heterogeneity in trophic dynamics, but little is known about how these dynamics may change across landscapes of varying complexity. Urban ecosystems are characterized by a wider array of both natural and anthropogenic food sources, which can increase predator densities compared to ...

Interpreting differences in access and accessibility to urban greenspace through geospatial analysis

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Access to urban greenspace is a fundamental requirement in providing critical ecosystem services, improving health and well-being across all ages, fostering social cohesion, and addressing prevalent health disparities in an increasingly urbanised society.

Enabling a Circular Water Transition: Identifying Governance Pathways for Wastewater Reuse

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 798-828, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Over 80% of the world's wastewater is discharged untreated, making reuse a widely underutilised strategy for addressing water scarcity. Due to the complexity of implementing water reuse systems, supportive governance conditions are required to steer this process and overcome barriers.

Enabling effective urban green space stewardship through planning: A qualitative comparative analysis in Southwest England

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2559-2575, August 2026.
Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

Intangible drivers of tolerance shape human–elephant coexistence in Southwest China

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2763-2780, August 2026.
Abstract Southwest China is home to a small but rapidly expanding population of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus), whose growth has intensified conflicts with people living in shared landscapes. These conflicts result in substantial economic losses and occasional human casualties. This coexistence paradox—where conservation success leads to significant

Nature, nature connection, and well‐being: A review of conceptual issues and opportunities

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2619-2633, August 2026.
Abstract Nature connection plays an important role in the relationship between nature contact and well‐being, but explanations of how this occurs are sometimes ambiguous while evidence is conflicting. Philosophical tensions in the way we study nature connection make it difficult to clarify these matters: while the idea of nature connection is grounded ...

The Personalised Ecology Index: A novel measure of an individual's direct sensory interactions with nature

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2881-2897, August 2026.
Abstract Biodiversity is under threat from human activities globally. The implications for human–nature interactions may be driving a vicious cycle—whereby less biodiversity means fewer human–nature interactions, less awareness of the importance of biodiversity and therefore greater human impacts.

Eye-level greenspace exposure and residents’ diabetes/glucose homeostasis status in Northeast China: A gender perspective

Hygiene and Environmental Health Advances
Diabetes is a prevalent chronic disease. Its interaction with environmental factors, especially greenspace, has garnered substantial scholarly attention. However, prevailing research has yielded disparate outcomes.
