Microclimate Influences Visitor Preferences in Urban Green Spaces: A Case Study of Wisdom Park
ForestistUrban green areas offer a range of ecosystem services and recreational attractions, including the comfortable microclimate. However, the influence of microclimate conditions on visitor preferences to visit urban green space areas is still necessary to be

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change poses serious threats to food security by affecting agricultural production processes in multiple ways. This study aims to analyze land management–based solution strategies that can be developed in response to this threat and presents a systematic and holistic framework through the relationship these strategies establish with ...

Forest Landscape Changes and Ecological Restoration for Sustainable Land Systems
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates forest landscape changes and ecological restoration in Sichuan Province, China, to assess their contribution to sustainable land systems under climate stress. A theory‐guided multistage framework was applied to link Landsat‐based change detection, landscape metrics, habitat quality assessment, soil‐retention analysis ...

Microclimatic Landscape Architecture: From Theory to Application
Urban Science, 2022 Global climate change and urban heat island intensification are making many cities dangerously hot during heat waves. There is a need for a clear process for applying microclimate information in urban design to create cooler cities. A recent paper points

Sexual reproduction in invasive Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) in south Sweden
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.To understand the potential for northward expansion of knotweeds into currently uninvaded regions, it is crucial to assess the potential for sexual reproduction alongside the ongoing vegetative spread. For that reason, we tested viability in Reynoutria japonica seeds in south Sweden, a region where viable seeds had not been previously reported ...

Oikos, EarlyView.As habitats change, the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal increasingly depends on animal responses to altered structure and resources. With habitat loss and degradation accelerating across the tropics, understanding how dispersers' foraging behavior and movement influence seed removal and deposition is critical to promoting forest ...
