The human handprint in shaping plant diversity in urban environments

2026-04-24

Abstract excerpt

Urban plant assemblages comprise mixtures of native and non-native species distributed across a variety of urban green space (UGS) types, yet we lack an integrated understanding of how plant diversity and composition varies across UGS that differ in the degree to which communities arise through self-assembly versus human facilitation. Here, we address the gap based on a comprehensive dataset of 180 plant communiti...
