Urban biodiversity
- Submission status
- Closed
- Submission deadline
As more people live in cities and urban areas expand, there has also been a growing interest in understanding and protecting the biodiversity within them. While often perceived as bare, homogenous concrete jungles, urban areas can hold surprisingly great numbers of species, often of conservation concern, and setting the scene for complex evolutionary and ecological dynamics. Urban biodiversity equally provides benefits for human well-being, in the form of improving environmental quality, natural hazard protection, better physical and mental health, appreciation of nature, etc.
This Collections invites submissions on the latest research focusing on urban biodiversity, including integrative and multidisciplinary studies.
