Green pathways to mental health: Relationships between treescapes and well‐being and distress
Abstract We aimed to evaluate the mental health benefits and possible mechanisms of objective and subjective treescape exposures whilst also accounting for relationships with residential area greenspace in general. Independent variables were objective measures of residential neighbourhood tree cover density and woody linear features, and a subjective ...

Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate
Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

Abstract Forests and woodlands are important for biodiversity, climate change mitigation and the provision of services including recreation, timber and non‐timber forest products. Land use policies currently aim to increase forest cover while also maximising the benefits of forests for people and improving community engagement with the process of ...

Thermal Effect of Greenspace in Urban Area
Remote sensing is perhaps the most economical method for assessing the thermal effects of urban greenspaces. Since 1984 the thermal infrared band of Landsat TM sensor provides high resolution imagery data showing surface temperature distributions. In previous studies we showed Landsat TM data clearly exhibit characteristics of lower temperature in the ...

Beyond green: how city greenspace shapes health outcomes in China
Background Urban greenspace is increasingly acknowledged as a vital component of sustainable urban development. While being exposed to greenspace is associated with a lower risk of chronic diseases, the specific health effects of different types and ...

The place bonding potential of nature‐based citizen science with refugee children and youth
Abstract Nature‐based citizen science often involves close interaction with places. In addition to providing benefits, such as learning opportunities and contact with nature, it can facilitate and shape bonds between people and places. Research exploring the place bonding potential of such projects is still in its infancy. This paper addresses this gap

Urban greenspace for social integration: Which types of greenspace do new-Swedes prefer and why?
Urban greenspace (UGS) is a key public resource offering a broad range of nature-based solutions and is increasingly looked to as a potential arena to promote social integration in Europe's increasingly multicultural urban and peri-urban areas. However, relatively little research has explored the preferences and perceptions of immigrants in relation to

Background Greenspace is an important modifiable environmental factor that is associated with health and well-being. Although previous research has shown that exposure to greenspace is beneficial for cardiovascular diseases, studies have rarely focused ...
