Hyperdominance of Exotic Invasive Trees in Street Afforestation of Semi‐Arid Brazilian Cities

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
Cities of the Brazilian semi‐arid region are dominated by non‐native species. Fifty percent of urban afforestation is composed of the invasive species Azadirachta indica. The urbanization gradient does not affect the richness of non‐native species. Cities farther away from the Brazilian coast are mostly biodiversity‐unfriendly.

Urban greenspace and dementia: Measures, mechanisms, and methodological guidance

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Urban greenspace has been associated with improved cognition and reduced Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD‐related dementias (ADRD) risk, but findings remain mixed, study quality varies, and evidence is largely cross‐sectional. To advance the field, we offer guidance to select and apply greenspace exposure measures in AD/ADRD research.

Harnessing Street Canyons for Comprehensive Nature-Based Solutions

Land
Transport areas in urban environments typically cover 10–20% of a city’s area. Due to their hierarchical structure and network layout, they present a unique opportunity to integrate Nature-based Solutions (NbSs) within cities strategically.

Urban Form in Sight: A City-Wide 3D ISOVIST Analysis of Pedestrian-Level Visibility Across Building Height–Coverage Typologies

Buildings
High-rise and high-density development is often assumed to reduce the visual quality of urban landscapes, yet building height alone does not fully explain what pedestrians can see at street level.
