Today, more than 4.2 billion people live in urban areas, which represent ~3% of the Earth?s land area. By 2050, it is predicted this number will increase to 6.6 billion people (~70% of the predicted global population). As the human population grows, cities around the globe will continue to expand, increasing the demand for food and services. Within cities, urban forests provide multiple nature-based solutions, as well as other environmental services and socio-economic benefits, such as heat mitigation and social integration. Urban forests are also important for coping with psychological stress during events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, urban forests are a priority for basic and applied forest research because they are intimately connected with people?s physical, cultural, and economic well-being in the urban environment, and can also be important reservoirs of biodiversity. To promote a better understanding of urban forests and landscape ecology, this book in ?Urban Forests and Landscape Ecology? compiled research set in urban forests and focused on some spatially explicit processes. Studies presented in this book are highly interdisciplinary and use a wide range of research approaches. This book present nine scientific publications from global urban forests demonstrating that these forests, as a nature-based solution, provide multiple environmental services and are crucial to improve urban livability and thereby the wellbeing of city dwellers. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 610 $aaesthetics 610 $acausal effects 610 $acrown form 610 $afoliage form 610 $aurban forests 610 $aurban forest 610 $aNATURA 2000 area 610 $asoundscape 610 $abirds 610 $abiological diversity 610 $aecosystem disservices 610 $aMediterranean region 610 $agreen infrastructure 610 $aurban forest types 610 $aindicators 610 $amicroclimate 610 $ahuman thermal comfort 610 $aoutdoor thermal environment 610 $apublic health 610 $aecological services 610 $aurban green space 610 $aremote sensing 610 $adeep learning 610 $aconvolutional neural network 610 $aresidual structure 610 $aattention mechanism 610 $aurban biodiversity 610 $aurban habitat quality 610 $aInVEST model 610 $aland surface temperature 610 $aMoran's I 610 $aZhengzhou 610 $asocial media data 610 $aspatiotemporal utilization 610 $aShanghai 610 $aecological function 610 $alandscape structure 610 $aGIS 610 $aair pollution alleviation 610 $aaccumulation on leaves 610 $aPM2.5 610 $aencapsulated particles 610 $aurban trees 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 700 $aEsperon-Rodriguez$b Manuel$4edt$01328206 702 $aHarrison$b Tina$4edt 702 $aEsperon-Rodriguez$b Manuel$4oth 702 $aHarrison$b Tina$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910580206303321 996 $aUrban Forests and Landscape Ecology$93038426 997 $aUNINA
