The contribution of constructed green infrastructure to urban biodiversity: A synthesis and meta‐analysis
The development of buildings and other infrastructure in cities is viewed as a threat to local
biodiversity and ecosystem functioning because natural habitat is replaced. However, there …

Urban ecological systems: Scientific foundations and a decade of progress
Urban ecological studies, including focus on cities, suburbs, and exurbs, while having deep
roots in the early to mid 20th century, have burgeoned in the last several decades. We use …
