How do Urban Green Spaces (UGS) generate trade-offs and synergies in promoting residents’ physical activity and supporting psychological restoration? This study addresses this question by examining the coupling coordination between Outdoor Activity Density (OAD) and Environmental Emotional Experience (EE) and directly and indirectly accessible green spaces. quantifying Urban Green Spaces (UGS) in three dimensions: accessibility (direct contact), and availability and visibility (indirect contact, such as visual exposure or ecological benefits). Outdoor Activity Density (OAD) was derived from mobility data on an outdoor activity platform, and Environmental Emotional Experience (EE) from social media text. A coupling coordination model was used to assess the relationship between UGS, physical activity, and psychological health, while spatial machine learning models explored the nonlinear effects of UGS morphology and socioeconomic factors on OAD and EE. The findings revealed: (1) Outdoor Activity Density and Environmental Emotional Experience, along with UGS, exhibit a multi-centered clustering tendency; (2) The visibility of Urban Green Spaces has a stronger promotional effect on Outdoor Activity Density than on Environmental Emotional Experience, although an overly dense green visibility range may hinder activity; (3) The accessibility of Urban Green Spaces has a dual enhancement effect on both Outdoor Activity Density and Environmental Emotional Experience; (4) The availability of Urban Green Spaces, as a form of indirect contact, provides positive Environmental Emotional Experience for those who cannot directly access green spaces; (5) Less "wild" Urban Green Spaces (artificial, low-LSI) tends to strengthe0n Outdoor Activity Density more effectively. Our findings address a key dilemma in urban planning by showing how green spaces can balance physical activity and psychological health when their optimal designs may conflict, and by empirically identifying the spatial morphology and scale ranges most suitable for both outcomes.

城市绿地（UGS）如何在促进居民身体活动和支持心理恢复方面产生权衡和协同效应？本研究通过考察户外活动密度（OAD）、环境情感体验（EE）与直接和间接可达绿地之间的耦合协调来解决这一问题。从三个维度量化城市绿地（UGS）：可达性（直接接触）、可用性和可见性（间接接触，如视觉暴露或生态效益）。户外活动密度（OAD）来源于户外活动平台上的移动数据，环境情感体验（EE）来源于社交媒体文本。采用耦合协调模型评估UGS与身体活动和心理健康之间的关系，空间机器学习模型探索UGS形态和社会经济因素对OAD和EE的非线性影响。结果表明：①户外活动密度和环境情感体验随UGS呈多中心聚类趋势；(2)城市绿地可见性对户外活动密度的促进作用强于对环境情感体验的促进作用，但过于密集的绿色可见范围可能会阻碍活动；③城市绿地可达性对户外活动密度和环境情感体验具有双重增强作用；(4)城市绿地的可用性作为一种间接接触的形式，为无法直接进入绿地的人群提供了积极的环境情感体验；(5)较少“野生”的城市绿地（人工绿地、低lsi绿地）更能有效地强化室外活动密度。我们的研究结果解决了城市规划中的一个关键困境，展示了绿色空间如何在最佳设计可能冲突的情况下平衡身体活动和心理健康，并通过经验确定了最适合这两种结果的空间形态和尺度范围。

Along with the urbanization process, the global issue of climate warming is becoming increasingly serious. Urban forests are an important component in regulating urban ecosystems, but due to human factors and the urban environment, research on carbon storage in forest systems is difficult to apply to urban forests, particularly in cold regions, where the factors affecting urban forest carbon storage are not yet clear, and existing prediction models cannot be accurately applied. Therefore, this study uses field measurements combined with remote sensing to explore the factors affecting urban forest carbon storage in cold climates and constructs a more accurate carbon storage prediction model based on convolutional neural networks. The main findings include: (1) The relationship between AGC, vegetation characteristics, and climate factors fluctuates seasonally; (2) AGC is positively correlated with average crown width (ACW), diameter at breast height (MDBH), vegetation cover (FVC), leaf area index (LAI), vegetation density (VD), and canopy stratification index (CLI), and negatively correlated with sky view factor (SVF) and deciduous species composition ratio (DCR); (3) From 2019–2023, AGC in Harbin's urban forests increased from 19.61 Mg/ha to 23.00 Mg/ha; (4) The LRCFNet model developed in this study, which integrates spatiotemporal attention mechanisms and multi-path feature extraction, can predict the AGC distribution with high accuracy (R² ≈ 0.99). This study provides valuable scientific evidence and technical support for assessing urban forest carbon storage and supporting low-carbon city development in cold regions.

随着城市化进程的推进，全球气候变暖问题日益严重。城市森林是调节城市生态系统的重要组成部分，但由于人为因素和城市环境的影响，森林系统碳储量的研究难以应用于城市森林，特别是寒冷地区，影响城市森林碳储量的因素尚不明确，现有的预测模型无法准确应用。因此，本研究采用野外测量与遥感相结合的方法，探索寒冷气候下城市森林碳储量的影响因素，构建基于卷积神经网络的更准确的碳储量预测模型。结果表明：(1)AGC、植被特征与气候因子的关系存在季节性波动；(2) AGC与平均冠宽（ACW）、胸径（MDBH）、植被覆盖度（FVC）、叶面积指数（LAI）、植被密度（VD）、冠层分层指数（CLI）呈正相关，与天空景观因子（SVF）、落叶物种组成比（DCR）呈负相关；(3) 2019-2023年哈尔滨市城市森林AGC由19.61 Mg/ha增加到23.00 Mg/ha；(4)综合时空注意机制和多路径特征提取的LRCFNet模型预测AGC分布具有较高的精度（R²≈0.99）。该研究为寒区城市森林碳储量评估和支持低碳城市发展提供了有价值的科学依据和技术支撑。

In the past two decades, there has been a significant increase in people’s interest in urban green spaces, trees, and forests. Urban forests (UFs) are increasingly recognised for their potential to mitigate climate change impacts, conserve biodiversity, and enhance human well-being. The Miyawaki Forest method (MFM) is a recent and innovative approach to urban greening that has garnered significant attention in Europe due to its claims of rapid afforestation. This paper examines these and other claims through a study of landscape professionals' perceptions of this method within the UK context. We collected quantitative and qualitative data, assessing the awareness, attitudes and concerns of 112 landscape professionals about MFM tree planting. With focus on its implementation and the composition of native and non-native tree species in MFM planting, we also asked respondents to consider its applicability in the rapidly changing climate in the UK. Results reveal a general support for MFM's application, particularly in urban areas. Key concerns include space requirements, high initial costs, vandalism, climate adaptability and so on. Notably, the findings show that practitioners are more likely to accept the planting of non-native tree species when the impacts of climate change are taken into account. These findings therefore have implications for practitioners and decision-makers beyond those following the MFM, and suggest that further empirical evidence and professional dialogue are needed to legitimise broader implementation of non-natives in conventional tree planting. The study therefore offers critical insights for policymakers and environmental advocates regarding the acceptability of different urban tree-planting initiatives in temperate urban regions in the UK. This contributes to a greater understanding of sustainable urban environments for UK citizens in an evolving climate future.

在过去的二十年里，人们对城市绿地、树木和森林的兴趣显著增加。城市森林（UFs）在缓解气候变化影响、保护生物多样性和增进人类福祉方面的潜力日益得到认可。宫崎森林法（MFM）是最近一种创新的城市绿化方法，由于其声称快速植树造林，在欧洲引起了极大的关注。本文通过对景观专业人士在英国背景下对这种方法的看法的研究来检验这些和其他说法。我们收集了定量和定性数据，评估了112名景观专业人员对MFM植树的认识、态度和关注。重点关注MFM的实施和本地和非本地树种在MFM种植中的组成，我们还要求受访者考虑其在英国快速变化的气候中的适用性。结果显示，人们普遍支持MFM的应用，特别是在城市地区。主要问题包括空间需求、高昂的初始成本、破坏行为、气候适应性等。值得注意的是，研究结果表明，当考虑到气候变化的影响时，从业者更有可能接受种植非本地树种。因此，这些发现对遵循MFM的从业者和决策者具有启示意义，并表明需要进一步的经验证据和专业对话，以使非传统树木种植的更广泛实施合法化。因此，这项研究为政策制定者和环境倡导者提供了关于英国温带城市地区不同城市植树倡议的可接受性的关键见解。这有助于英国公民在不断变化的气候未来中更好地理解可持续城市环境。

Urban and peri-urban forests play an increasingly important role in public health and recreation, particularly in the context of urbanization and demographic change. This study compares forest visit patterns across Switzerland, Baden-Württemberg, and Bavaria based on harmonized, large-scale survey data. We analyze visit frequency, motives, satisfaction, and perceived forest health through multilevel and Bayesian models. Results show that individual factors strongly shape satisfaction and visit frequency, while regional effects are minimal. Our findings highlight the need for user-centered forest management that considers diverse motives and especially the needs of younger and more frequent users in urbanizing contexts.

Urban green space (UGS) equity has attracted growing attention to environmental justice and health resilience, as the pandemic has revealed UGS to be essential for physical and mental health. However, existing studies on UGS equity have largely emphasized accessibility and resource provision, while paying insufficient attention to behavioral use patterns and intra-urban disparities across different UGS types. Filling this gap advances the theoretical shift toward behavioral and adaptive equity and supports crisis-resilient UGS planning. Therefore, we develop a spatial equity assessment framework that integrates mobile phone-based OD trajectories, multi-scalar UGS distribution, and housing price data to capture behavioral inequities in green space utilization. A spatial econometric model with interaction terms is then employed to identify how COVID-19 pandemic exposure amplifies income-related disparities in access to UGS. The main findings are as follows: (1) During the pandemic, community and subdistrict green spaces have experienced modest increases in utilization (6.36 % and 11.69 %, respectively); municipal green space shows a sharp decline of 19.54 % due to institutional closures, while district green space maintains relatively stable usage. (2) The interaction analysis further shows that COVID-19 exposure exacerbates inequities in actual UGS utilization. Still, this interaction effect is insignificant for the municipal green space type, due to universal access restrictions in large green spaces. This study advances UGS equity assessment by shifting from income-based disparities of resource provision or accessibility to dynamic evaluations of actual utilization. It integrates multi-source big data and employs spatial econometric modeling to develop a crisis-responsive analytical framework that extends environmental justice theory toward behavioral and adaptive equity.

城市绿色空间（UGS）公平引起了人们对环境正义和健康复原力的日益关注，因为大流行病表明，城市绿色空间对身心健康至关重要。然而，现有关于UGS公平性的研究主要侧重于可及性和资源提供，而对不同UGS类型的行为使用模式和城市内部差异关注不足。填补这一空白推进了向行为和适应性公平的理论转变，并支持了具有危机弹性的UGS规划。因此，我们开发了一个空间公平评估框架，该框架整合了基于手机的OD轨迹、多标量UGS分布和房价数据，以捕捉绿色空间利用中的行为不公平。然后，采用具有相互作用项的空间计量经济学模型来确定COVID-19大流行如何放大在获得UGS方面的收入相关差距。结果表明：(1)疫情期间，社区和街道绿地利用率均有小幅上升（分别为6.36% %和11.69 %）；由于机构关闭，市政绿地使用率大幅下降19.54 %，而区级绿地使用率保持相对稳定。(2)交互作用分析进一步表明，COVID-19暴露加剧了实际UGS利用的不公平。然而，由于大型绿地的通达性限制，这种交互作用对于城市绿地类型来说并不显著。本研究通过从基于收入的资源提供或可及性差异转向对实际利用的动态评估，推进了UGS公平评估。它整合了多源大数据，并采用空间计量经济学模型来开发一个危机响应分析框架，将环境正义理论扩展到行为和适应性公平。

Green spaces, as a critical part of urban infrastructure, provide a wide range of social, cultural, and economic benefits through ecosystem services to humans. Human-nature relations and social values created by nature at the urban scale are unique to each context, and therefore, for a concise planning approach, it is essential to fully grasp the benefits through local social values. By addressing the gaps in the literature, this research aims to develop and apply an engaging, adaptable, and replicable monitoring methodology that focuses on co-evaluation, building upon experiential narratives of the social benefits of urban nature. Focusing on a local case study of Utrecht University Botanical Gardens, and relying on transdisciplinary methods such as public workshops, semi-structured interviews, and gamified ecosystem services benefits selection, this research emphasizes a co-evaluation that builds on experiential narratives of the social benefits of urban nature and biodiversity. The results initially identify narratives of urban biodiversity explicating how and what people recognize as urban biodiversity in the Botanical Gardens and the related social values using ecosystem services (ES) benefits. Secondly, alongside narratives, the social benefits of nature and biodiversity are explored through the benefits selected by participants, which indicate the perception of visitors and locals about the place. Ultimately, the results of co-evaluation are reflected in direct recommendations for improving the Botanical Gardens. This proposed methodology, as a replicable and engaging approach, provides a participatory framework that bridges the gap between ecological metrics and local social values when evaluating the recognized and perceived social-ecological benefits of urban nature.

绿地作为城市基础设施的重要组成部分，通过生态系统服务为人类提供广泛的社会、文化和经济效益。自然在城市尺度上创造的人与自然的关系和社会价值在每个文脉中都是独一无二的，因此，对于一个简洁的规划方法来说，充分把握当地社会价值的好处是至关重要的。通过解决文献中的空白，本研究旨在开发和应用一种引人入胜、适应性强、可复制的监测方法，该方法侧重于共同评估，以城市自然的社会效益的经验叙述为基础。本研究以乌得勒支大学植物园的本地案例研究为重点，依靠跨学科方法，如公共研讨会、半结构化访谈和游戏化生态系统服务效益选择，强调建立在城市自然和生物多样性的社会效益的经验叙述基础上的共同评估。结果初步确定了城市生物多样性的叙述，解释了人们如何以及如何认识植物园中的城市生物多样性以及利用生态系统服务（ES）效益的相关社会价值。其次，除了叙事，通过参与者选择的利益，探索自然和生物多样性的社会效益，这表明游客和当地人对这个地方的看法。最终，共同评价的结果反映在改善植物园的直接建议中。作为一种可复制和引人入胜的方法，该方法提供了一个参与性框架，在评估公认和感知的城市自然的社会生态效益时，弥合了生态指标与当地社会价值之间的差距。

Community gardens not only have a vital role in enhancing urban sustainability and biodiversity but are also becoming an important frontline of urban biosecurity. Unfortunately, existing registries often fail to capture emerging or informal gardens. This paper presents a preliminary study into a novel, semi-automated method for identifying unregistered community gardens from textual discourse data (video transcripts, titles and descriptions) that were automatically extracted from public online video content such as YouTube. By combining YouTube and OpenAI Large Language Model APIs, we extracted and classified garden-related discourse to detect garden types, names, and locations. Applied across northern parts of Australia, this approach successfully identified 34 community gardens, 28 of which were previously unregistered. These included school-based, remote, urban/suburban, and ad hoc gardens.

社区花园不仅在提高城市可持续性和生物多样性方面发挥着至关重要的作用，而且正在成为城市生物安全的重要前线。不幸的是，现有的登记处经常无法捕捉到新兴的或非正式的花园。本文提出了一种新的半自动化方法，用于从文本话语数据（视频抄本、标题和描述）中识别未注册的社区花园，这些文本话语数据是自动从公共在线视频内容（如YouTube）中提取的。通过结合YouTube和OpenAI大型语言模型api，我们提取并分类了与花园相关的话语，以检测花园的类型、名称和位置。在澳大利亚北部地区，这种方法成功地确定了34个社区花园，其中28个以前未注册。其中包括以学校为基础的、偏远的、城市/郊区的和特设的花园。我们的方法为完善的遥感和公民科学制图方法提供了一种低成本、可扩展和动态的补充。随着越来越多的视频内容被添加到社交媒体平台，它为植物生物安全提供了一个动态的监控解决方案。

Introducing drought-tolerant groundcovers into urban landscapes can enhance evaporative cooling while reducing irrigation demand in semiarid and arid regions. A two-year field experiment (2022–2023) conducted in Riverside, California, evaluated the responses of four groundcover species—Acacia redolens, Arctotis acaulis, Chrysanthemoides incana, and Lippia nodiflora—to four irrigation levels (25–100 % reference evapotranspiration, ET₀). Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), visual quality, and the canopy and air temperature difference (ΔT) were monitored across treatments. The calibrated HYDRUS-1D model simulated soil water content (SWC) and actual transpiration (T_a) for each treatment, which were used to develop regression-based water response function (WRF) models for estimating NDVI and ΔT. Acacia redolens provided the greatest potential evaporative cooling effect, with mean ΔT ranging from −3.99 to −5.86 °C across irrigation levels, while maintaining high aesthetic quality even at 25 % ET₀. In contrast, Lippia nodiflora required at least 51 % ET₀ irrigation to sustain acceptable visual quality and 100 % ET₀ to maintain a cool canopy. The strongest correlation between NDVI and HYDRUS-1D outputs was observed for Lippia nodiflora (r = 0.68–0.80). ΔT for all groundcovers showed a relatively strong correlation with simulated T_a (r = −0.59 to −0.71), and incorporating model outputs into WRFs improved ΔT prediction accuracy (r = 0.64–0.80). These results highlight Acacia redolens as a climate-resilient and water-efficient groundcover, offering substantial cooling and aesthetic performance under minimal irrigation. The findings of this study can inform urban landscape design, irrigation management strategies, and green infrastructure planning in water-limited regions.

在城市景观中引入耐旱地被植物可以增强蒸发冷却，同时减少半干旱和干旱地区的灌溉需求。在美国加州河滨（Riverside）进行了为期两年（2022-2023）的田间试验，评估了四种地被植物——金合欢（acacia redolens）、牛蒡（Arctotis acaulis）、金菊（Chrysanthemoides incana）和野草（Lippia nodiflora）对四种灌溉水平（25-100 %参考蒸散量，ET0）的响应。监测各处理间归一化植被指数（NDVI）、视觉质量、冠层和空气温差（ΔT）。校正后的HYDRUS-1D模型模拟了每个处理的土壤含水量（SWC）和实际蒸腾（Ta），并利用这些数据建立了基于回归的水响应函数（WRF）模型，用于估算NDVI和ΔT。金合欢提供了最大的潜在蒸发冷却效果，在灌溉水平的平均ΔT范围从- 3.99°C到- 5.86°C，同时保持高的美学质量，即使在25 % ET0。相比之下，野野Lippia nodiflora需要至少51% % ET0的灌溉来维持可接受的视觉质量，需要100% % ET0的灌溉来维持凉爽的树冠。nodiflora Lippia NDVI与HYDRUS-1D输出的相关性最强（r = 0.68-0.80）。所有地被植物的ΔT与模拟Ta的相关性较强（r = −0.59 ~−0.71），将模型输出纳入wrf提高了ΔT的预测精度（r = 0.64 ~ 0.80）。这些结果突出了金合欢作为一种气候适应性强、节水的地被植物，在最少的灌溉条件下提供大量的冷却和美观性能。本研究结果可为缺水地区的城市景观设计、灌溉管理策略和绿色基础设施规划提供参考。

Urban forests provide ecosystem services that enhance opportunities for physical activity and contribute to public health. The aim of this study was to investigate how perceptions of the urban forest ecosystem services, walking behaviour characteristics and frequency of visits to the urban forest are related to satisfaction with physical activity, with body mass index (BMI) included as a descriptive health indicator. To assess the perceived benefits of the urban forest Kamenički Park (Serbia), a workshop was conducted with representatives of five stakeholder groups. Walking frequency, walking distance, use of step-counting applications, frequency of park visits, satisfaction with physical activity, and BMI were analysed using a survey conducted with 215 adult residents recruited from four primary care clinics. Stakeholders valued Kamenički Park primarily for its cultural benefits. Satisfaction with physical activity was associated with frequency of walking (χ² = 29.98, p < 0.001) and walking distance (χ² = 23.50, p < 0.001), while the use of a step-counting apps showed only a weak correlation. Logistic regression indicated that walking 3–5 km/day was associated with lower satisfaction, while walking daily or more than 5 km/day showed a positive but non-significant trend towards higher satisfaction. Linking behavioural data to stakeholder perceptions highlights the need for urban planning to incorporate both contextual and experiential dimensions to maximise the health-promoting potential of urban forests.

城市森林提供生态系统服务，增加身体活动机会，促进公共健康。本研究的目的是调查城市森林生态系统服务的感知、步行行为特征和访问城市森林的频率与身体活动满意度的关系，并将体重指数（BMI）作为描述性健康指标。为了评估城市森林kameni ki公园（塞尔维亚）的预期效益，与五个利益相关者团体的代表举行了一次讲习班。通过对来自四个初级保健诊所的215名成年居民进行的调查，分析了步行频率、步行距离、步数应用程序的使用、公园访问频率、体育活动满意度和BMI。利益相关者看重kameni公园主要是因为它的文化效益。对身体活动的满意度与步行频率（χ²= 29.98,p <； 0.001）和步行距离（χ²= 23.50,p <； 0.001）相关，而使用步数应用程序仅显示弱相关性。Logistic回归结果表明，步行3-5 km/day与满意度较低相关，而每天步行5 km/day以上与满意度呈正相关，但不显著。将行为数据与利益攸关方的看法联系起来，突出表明城市规划需要兼顾环境和经验两方面，以最大限度地发挥城市森林促进健康的潜力。

Despite the evidence linking urban green and blue spaces (UGBSs) with human health and well-being, questions remain regarding their optimal characteristics, quantity, and location for delivering diverse health benefits. This study examines UGBS use with a focus on the spatial distribution and characteristics of sites associated with self-reported health benefits. Data on UGBS visitation among adult residents of Vienna, Austria (N = 816), were collected using a digital participatory mapping survey. Participants located frequently visited green and blue spaces (N = 3243) and evaluated each site based on its resource building (physical activity, social interaction), restoring (stress reduction), and harm-reducing (heat adaptation) capacities. The spatial distribution and environmental correlates of sites associated with specific or multiple perceived health-related benefits were studied using a series of generalized linear mixed models and Getis-Ord Gi* hot spot analyses. Perceived benefits related to physical activity, stress reduction, and heat adaptation showed strong spatial clustering and clear environmental correlates, while social interaction had fewer significant associations. Larger recreational forests and spaces combining green and blue elements were most likely to support multiple perceived health-related benefits. The results demonstrate that the perceived health-related benefits derived from UGBS visitation can vary considerably within urban green and blue spaces. To promote human health and well-being as aims of green infrastructure planning, greater emphasis could be placed on citizens’ access to diverse health-supporting characteristics of green infrastructure instead of general UGBS access.

尽管有证据表明城市绿色和蓝色空间（UGBSs）与人类健康和福祉有关，但关于它们的最佳特征、数量和位置是否能提供各种健康效益的问题仍然存在。本研究考察了UGBS的使用情况，重点关注与自我报告的健康益处相关的地点的空间分布和特征。采用数字参与式测绘调查收集了奥地利维也纳成年居民UGBS访问数据（N = 816）。参与者定位了人们经常访问的绿色和蓝色空间（N = 3243），并根据其资源建设（体育活动、社会互动）、恢复（减轻压力）和减少伤害（热适应）能力对每个地点进行了评估。使用一系列广义线性混合模型和Getis-Ord Gi*热点分析，研究了与特定或多种感知健康相关益处相关的站点的空间分布和环境相关性。与体力活动、减压和热适应相关的感知效益表现出较强的空间聚类和明显的环境相关性，而社会互动的显著相关性较弱。较大的休闲森林和结合绿色和蓝色元素的空间最有可能支持多种感知到的与健康有关的好处。结果表明，在城市绿地和蓝色空间内，UGBS访问带来的感知健康相关益处可能会有很大差异。为了将促进人类健康和福祉作为绿色基础设施规划的目标，可以更加强调公民获得绿色基础设施的各种健康支持特征，而不是一般的UGBS访问。
