Urban sprawl facilitates invasions of exotic plants across multiple spatial scales

Francesco Boscutti et al.

Summary: This study analyzed how the expansion of urban and agricultural areas can affect exotic species richness at different spatial scales. The results showed that increasing urbanization and high shape complexity of urban elements were major drivers of plant invasions. Agriculture land use also had a significant impact on the spread of ancient species. Therefore, reducing urban sprawl and shape complexity can improve the resistance of landscapes to biological invasions.

Connectivity, landscape structure, and plant diversity across agricultural landscapes: novel insight into effective ecological network planning

Francesco Liccari et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the influence of connectivity and landscape structure on plant diversity in an agricultural landscape. It found that high connectivity leads to higher species richness but also increases plant community similarity. The composition of semi-natural land cover showed a positive effect on species diversity, while anthropogenic elements had a negative effect.

Environmental heterogeneity predicts global species richness patterns better than area

Kristy Udy et al.

Summary: This study found that environmental heterogeneity explains species richness better than area for predicting native mammal species richness worldwide and within biogeographical regions, suggesting that niche-related processes are more prevalent at broad scales.

Grade of Membership models reveal geographical and environmental correlates of floristic structure in a temperate biodiversity hotspot

Qin Li et al.

Summary: By using Grade of Membership models, the distribution patterns of seed plants in the Hengduan Mountains region and adjacent areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau were studied, revealing a clear segregation trend near the tropical-temperate divide, with the Jinsha River serving as a boundary line.

Environmental range per unit space determines a unimodal pattern of species richness along a heterogeneity gradient

Qing Shi Zhou et al.

Summary: The study found that the probability of species dispersing into their respective available spaces follows a unimodal distribution, and that the probability of population extinction increases with increasing heterogeneity in the environment.

Land development in an urban megalopolis: A holistic environmental assessment of housing on Chongming Eco-island, China

Miaomiao Hou et al.

Summary: Utilizing emergy synthesis method, the study evaluated housing on Chongming and found that slab housing contributes the most to total emergy and GHG emissions, but shows the highest environmental performance when considering residential density. High-rise apartments are not the optimal option for the overall sustainability of Chongming Eco-Island.

Drivers of spontaneous plant richness patterns in urban green space within a biodiversity hotspot

Zhiwen Gao et al.

Summary: The study surveyed spontaneous plant species in urban green patches in Kunming, China, identifying a significant presence of herbaceous plants and invasive species. Regression models showed that the richness of spontaneous species in urban green patches was influenced by factors such as patch area, distance to city boundary, and landscape shape index. While the drivers of spontaneous plants were similar across different species groups, the relative importance of each driver varied among them. This research provides valuable insights for optimizing biodiversity conservation in urban green spaces within rapidly urbanizing biodiversity hotspot regions.
