Effects of Urbanization on Biodiversity - Interaction of Degree of Urbanization x Patch Area x Taxonomy Groups.
Year Published:2014
Author:Yusuke Ueno・Naoyuki Sone・Masao Kurihara
To clarify the effects of urbanization on biodiversity, we investigated biota (birds, insects, and plants) in 60 parks and green spaces of various sizes in Tokyo, and
examined the effects of degree of urbanization and green space area. We found that the number of species decreased with urbanization, that the effects of urbanization
were mitigated by larger areas of green space, and that these trends differed among taxonomic groups.

Author:Naoyuki Sone・Yusuke Ueno・Masao Kurihara
From the viewpoint of improving biodiversity conservation measures in urban areas, we organized the results of the local green basic plans and previous studies on
urban ecology in Japan, and found that there is a lack of information on local biodiversity (evaluation and analysis based on survey research and its results) and a
lack of ecological knowledge of urban areas necessary to improve the effectiveness of the plans (e.g., results of studies on various taxonomic groups in a wide area).
) and the lack of ecological knowledge in urban areas (e.g., research results on a wide range of taxa) necessary to make the plan more effective.
