Although many people affected by COVID-19 suffer from some form of psychological distress, access to proper treatment or psychosocial interventions has been limited. This study aimed examine the feasibility and preliminary effects a therapeutic gardening program conducted during pandemic. The consisted 30 sessions was at 10 nationwide sites in Korea June November 2021. Mental health well-being were assessed using Health Screening Tool for Depressive Disorders, Anxiety Engagement Daily...
Background Nature-based therapy (NBT), which centers around engaging in activities within natural surroundings, has consistently demonstrated therapeutic benefits for mental health. While NBT highlights the potential of nature as a resource promoting health, there is limited knowledge regarding its underlying mechanisms. Methods Two hundred seventy-six Korean participants (204 women, mean age = 54.99 ± 23.25 years) participated 30-session gardening program held twice weekly 15 weeks....
The use of biota to analyze the distribution pattern biogeographic regions is essential gain a better understanding ecological processes that cause biotic differentiation and biodiversity at multiple spatiotemporal scales. Recently, collection high-resolution biological data (e.g., specimens) advances in analytical theory have led quantitative analysis more refined spatial delineation regions. This study was conducted redefine floristic zones southern part Korean Peninsula understand...
Abstract During the COVID-19 pandemic, world population faced various mental health challenges, highlighting a need for new community-based psychosocial interventions. This study aimed to investigate effectiveness and feasibility of Nature-Based Therapy (NBT) community experiencing psychological distress during pandemic. A multi-site trial comparing NBT control groups was conducted in Korea with 291 participants exhibiting mild severe depression or anxiety. total 192 participated 30 sessions...
Green roofs provide various ecosystem services, including habitats for diverse organisms in urban areas where natural space is very scarce. This study aims to evaluate the restoration effects of green created by applying an ecological method reinforce habitat function. The reference selected a roof was Korean red pine stand established on Mt. Bulam, considering soil depth, light, moisture conditions, etc., compared with roof’s environmental conditions. Ecological carried out planting...
Climate change poses a significant threat to the survival of endemic plants that depend on narrow geographical ranges and specific environmental conditions. This study developed an ensemble model using six algorithms, applying climate scenarios (SSP1-2.6, SSP3-7.0, SSP5-8.5) based habitat data (109 sites) <i>Coreanomecon hylomeconoides</i> (Hereafter referred as <i>Coreanomecon</i>), plant Korean Peninsula, evaluated changes in geography, sensitivity, niche overlap....
Abstract Background The stem exclusion stage is a of forest development that important for understanding the subsequent understory reinitiation and maturation during which horizontal heterogeneity formed. Over past 11 years (2009–2019), we observed deciduous broad-leaved in Albongbunji Basin Ulleungdo, South Korea its stage, where Fagus engleriana (Engler’s beech) dominant species, thereby analyzing changes structure (density size distributions), function (biomass species richness),...
Abstract During the COVID-19 pandemic, world population suffered from a range of mental health problems, and there has been need for new community-based psychosocial interventions. This study aimed to investigate effectiveness feasibility Natural-Based Therapy (NBT) community experiencing psychological distress during pandemic. A multi-site trial comparing NBT control groups was conducted. In total, 291 participants with mild severe depression or anxiety were recruited 11 sites in Korea....
Abstract The development stage of forest trees has considerable impact on the understory plant species; however, little research been dedicated to in‐depth investigation changes in ecological processes (deterministic and stochastic) over a mid‐term observational period (≥10 years). We analyzed floor environment, including bare mineral soil, tree communities (density biomass), species composition, diversity, cover, co‐occurring Albongbunji Basin Ulleungdo Island an 11‐year (2009–2019)....
