Urban green space (UGS) is a broad and potentially very inclusive term. Although most discussions on UGS focus urban parks, there are many other vegetated areas in cities. Many not formally recognised protected, hence they called informal spaces (IGS), yet provide ecosystem services similar to parks. Based detailed overview of the different categories UGS, we shed new light how included planning snapshot disturbing land use transition – from uses which partly related lack formal recognition...
Abstract To ensure that cities and urban ecosystems support human wellbeing overall quality of life we need conceptual frameworks can connect different scientific disciplines as well research practice. In this perspective, explore the potential a traits framework for understanding social-ecological patterns, dynamics, interactions, tipping points in complex systems. do so, discuss what kind framing, research, would allow to (1) link sensitivity given environmental entity globally relevant...
The multiple positive effects of an active school commute have convinced many cities to promote home-school walks among children and increase the awareness designing healthy, child-friendly routes. One ways ensure a healthy daily walk is greenery that encounter on their way. This paper aims evaluate welfare-related disparities in visibility along routes link them with distributive (in)justice regarding aesthetic appreciation. We hypothesise who belong poor status group lower than other...
The role of nature in enhancing urban well-being is well-established, but perceived naturalness may not always align with scientific definitions. Our study aimed to investigate whether areas selected for nature-related activities demonstrate increased biodiversity, offer diverse experiences, and integrate both social ecological perspectives. We bridge the gap between objective richness. Integrating environmental parameters, we considered indicators, such as presence rare species, subjective...
Urban lakes, especially those of natural origin, provide ecosystem services, recreation being one the most important and highly valued by city dwellers. Fulfilling needs residents to relax have contact with nature has become a priority in urbanized areas been proven positively affect people’s health well-being. The recreational potential water bodies was identified be aspect services neighboring areas. An assessment (RES) provisioning society based on real time spent citizens housing values...
Public access to high quality green environments has become a key issue for city managers and matter of environmental justice. Urban pressures on ecosystem remnants may act favor the expansion some invasive species in cities. Whilst negative impacts function is well documented, little known about how influence use space by people. Here, we examined one few urban riparian forests Europe, Vistula river valley Warsaw, which recently an attractive recreation site. Despite their ecological value,...
In this study, we investigated the possibility of replacing existing lawns located in urban parks with patches energy crop plantations as a way to reduce maintenance costs. We selected six sites on edges Warsaw (Poland), characterized by low aesthetical value, high noise levels, and vegetation diversity. For these sites, evaluated plant species from social economic perspective. conducted face-to-face interviews park visitors assess public's perception aesthetic value crops using series...
Urban informal green spaces (IGS) represent valuable reservoirs of biodiversity within urban areas and are increasingly recognized as integral components infrastructure. They perceived temporary ecosystems, the management their vegetation is relatively understudied. The development time spontaneous on transformed lands considered to be in range decades, which makes it even more necessary provide managers with better guidelines for such a long period. Two suggested approaches these involve:...
Leaf surface wetness has numerous physiological and ecological consequences, the morphological structures on leaf can affect its extent duration, contributing to interception rates in scale of whole ecosystem. Wetland plants have developed adaptations high water level allowing them avoid excess. Droplet contact angle free energy are measurable parameters which relate how plant influences usage redistribution. We analysed patterns adaxial abaxial 10 wetland species related optimal habitat...
The seasonal occurrence of plant communities in rivers' reaches has a direct impact on the flow resistance and sediment dynamics. Monitoring their habitats can be great importance to understand bio-geomorphological changes hydrological processes assess human-induced changes. This work focuses combining different remote sensors' data acquired from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) feed Random Forest models for recognition Vistula River. Botanical surveys were carried out more than two thousand...
Visitor's access to understorey vegetation in park forest stands results the impoverishment of plant species composition and a reduction habitat quality. The phenomenon biotic homogenisation is typical urban landscapes, but it can proceed differently depending on scale, detail that has not been observed previous studies. This research was carried out seven Warsaw parks (both public restricted access). Thirty-four forested areas were randomly selected, some subjected strong visitors' pressure...
Abstract Wetlands play a crucial role in buffering the effects of climate change. At same time, they are one most endangered ecosystems on globe. The knowledge water cycle and energy exchange is for practical preservation exploiting their capabilities. Leaf wettability an important parameter characterising plant's ability to retain its surface, linked ecosystems' hydrological ecological functioning. This research investigates relationship between leaves' based contact angle measurements...

Public access to high quality green environments has become a key issue for city managers and matter of environmental justice. Remnants natural ecosystems allow citizens direct contact with nature, but conversely the presence people contributes further existing disturbances. Urban pressures on ecosystem remnants may act favour expansion some invasive species in cities. Whilst negative impacts function is well documented little known how influence use spaces by people. Here, we examined one...
Air pollution is now considered to be the world’s largest environmental health threat, accounting for millions of deaths globally each year. The social group that particularly exposed harmful effects air children. Their vulnerability results from higher breathing frequency and being subject concentration peaks just above ground. negative ambient particulate matter also depend on time exposure. A daily route school can constitute an important component children’s physical activity, but pose a...
