In recent years, the urban heat island (UHI) effect and frequent heatwaves have become escalating threats to metropolises. Vegetation's cooling services and their equitable access have gained attention for mitigating extreme heat and promoting environmental justice. However, the characteristics of vegetation cooling services along the urban-rural gradient and among different population groups require further investigation. This study focuses on Shanghai to investigate cooling service exposure and equity patterns. Using the Heat Mitigation Index (HMI) from the newly LAI-integrated InVEST urban cooling model as a proxy for vegetation cooling services, as well as the Gini index as the indicator of equity, we analyzed cooling exposure and equity across the urban-rural gradient and among different population groups at multiple levels. The results indicate that: 1) Integrating Leaf Area Index (LAI) improves HMI simulation accuracy by enhancing heterogeneity within green areas and strengthening the correlation with land surface temperature (LST) by up to 67.5 %. 2) Cooling service exposure and inequity display a clear urban-rural gradient, with residents in central areas enjoying lower but more equitable cooling services, while those in peripheral areas experiencing higher but less equitable services. Specifically, the average cooling exposure, measured on a normalized range from 0 to 1, increases from 0.130 in the Inner Urban Area (IUA) to 0.211 in the Outer Suburban Area (OSA), and the Gini index rises from 0.298 to 0.486 from the inner to the outer ring, indicating greater inequality in peripheral. 3) Gaps in cooling service exposure and equity among population groups, based on age and local status, are widening along the urban-rural gradient. These findings enhance our understanding of vegetation cooling service distribution in large cities and underscore the need for targeted planning and support for vulnerable groups to promote environmental justice.

近年来，城市热岛效应和频繁的热浪已成为大城市日益严重的威胁。植被的降温服务及其公平获取在缓解极端高温和促进环境正义方面引起了人们的关注。植被降温服务在城乡梯度和不同人群间的特征有待进一步研究。本研究以上海为研究对象，探讨了制冷服务暴露与公平性模式。本文采用基于ai集成的InVEST城市降温模型的热缓解指数（HMI）作为植被降温服务的代理指标，以基尼指数作为公平性指标，分析了城乡梯度和不同人口群体在多个层面上的降温暴露和公平性。结果表明：1)整合叶面积指数（LAI）提高了绿化区域内的异质性，与地表温度（LST）的相关性提高了67.5 %，提高了HMI模拟精度。②制冷服务暴露与不公平呈现明显的城乡梯度，中心地区居民享受的制冷服务水平较低但较为公平，而外围地区居民享受的制冷服务水平较高但不公平。具体而言，在0到1的归一化范围内测量的平均降温暴露，从内城区（IUA）的0.130增加到外城区（OSA）的0.211，基尼指数从内环到外环从0.298上升到0.486，表明外围地区的不平等更大。3)基于年龄和地方地位的人群之间的冷却服务暴露和公平差距正在沿着城乡梯度扩大。这些发现增强了我们对大城市植被降温服务分布的理解，并强调了有针对性地规划和支持弱势群体以促进环境正义的必要性。

Since its establishment in 2002, the journal of Urban Forestry & Urban Greening (UFUG) has been committed to presenting its audience with high-quality research and cutting-edge knowledge pertinent to urban and peri-urban vegetation with regard to their use, planning, design, establishment, and management. In tandem with an increasing recognition of the importance of urban forests for addressing various challenges facing human societies and ensuring sustainable development, UFUG has attracted more and more scholarly attention. Over the past two decades (2002–2023), scholars from all over the world have produced a wide variety of scholarship, totaling up to 90 volumes with 2655 articles published from multiple fields, which has significantly improved our understanding of urban forests as integral parts of urban social-ecological systems. UFUG has developed rapidly and become one of the key journals in multiple research domains including forestry, urban studies, and environmental studies. This paper presents a systematic bibliometric analysis to take stock of UFUG publications, unravel key research hotspots, and outline promising avenues for future research. The traditional scientific hubs in the USA and Europe (particularly United Kingdom and Scandinavian countries) as pioneers in urban forestry research still play a key role, whilst China has become the top leading producer of publications, pointing towards an increasingly multipolar world in terms of urban forestry research and relevant knowledge generation. Keyword analysis reveals an expansion of research focus from physical aspects of urban greenspaces (such as soil and vegetation composition) to integrated and multifunctional networks of greenspaces, and a shift of research interests from individual trees’ performance to urban biodiversity, ecosystem services, and recently to the nuanced interaction between urban forests, public health and social inequity, from an ecological perspective to a social-ecological integrated one. Nevertheless, the ecological quality/biodiversity of urban forests has emerged as a new theme, and how both the quantity and the quality of urban forests can be adequately assessed via innovative methodologies and how relevant empirical evidence can inform policy and governance of urban forests for maximizing their ecosystem services and mitigating their ecosystem disservices are yet to be researched.

自2002年创刊以来，《城市林业》杂志；《城市绿化》（Urban Greening， UFUG）致力于向读者展示与城市和城郊植被有关的高质量研究和前沿知识，包括它们的使用、规划、设计、建立和管理。随着人们越来越认识到城市森林对于解决人类社会面临的各种挑战和确保可持续发展的重要性，城市森林研究吸引了越来越多的学术关注。在过去的二十年（2002-2023）中，来自世界各地的学者们产生了各种各样的学术成果，总计达90卷，发表了2655篇来自多个领域的文章，这大大提高了我们对城市森林作为城市社会生态系统组成部分的认识。近年来发展迅速，已成为林业、城市研究、环境研究等多个研究领域的重点期刊之一。本文提出了一个系统的文献计量分析，以评估UFUG出版物，揭示关键的研究热点，并概述了未来研究的有希望的途径。作为城市林业研究的先驱，美国和欧洲（特别是英国和斯堪的纳维亚国家）的传统科学中心仍然发挥着关键作用，而中国已成为出版物的主要生产国，表明在城市林业研究和相关知识产生方面，世界正日益多极化。关键词分析表明，研究重点从城市绿地的物理方面（如土壤和植被组成）扩展到综合和多功能的绿地网络，研究兴趣从单个树木的表现转向城市生物多样性、生态系统服务，最近转向城市森林、公共卫生和社会不平等之间的微妙相互作用，从生态学的角度转向社会生态一体化的角度。然而，城市森林的生态质量/生物多样性已成为一个新的主题，如何通过创新的方法充分评估城市森林的数量和质量，以及相关的经验证据如何为城市森林的政策和治理提供信息，以最大限度地发挥其生态系统服务和减轻其生态系统危害，这些都有待研究。

Urban expansion transforms the availability and structure of habitats, shaping urban natural elements. This triggered a worldwide effort to reduce urbanization impact on biodiversity, mostly with biodiversity-friendly and less formal management in urban green areas. In this context, we evaluated the effect of lawn management promoting tall herbs on insects in urban parks. Moreover, we also tested the interplay of mowing regimes and green-area attributes, such as park size and tree distribution, by recording the insect species richness and the total and proportional abundances of several groups (i.e., honeybees, wild bees, wasps, hoverflies, non-syrphid flies, beetles, true bugs, grasshoppers, lepidopterans). The results from the first experimental year demonstrate that unmown sections increase insect abundance and species richness, while the regrowth after the first mowing of tall herbs was only moderately beneficial, compared to frequenlty mowed areas. Positive contributions by flower richness on the insect richness and by the aggregated tree distributions on insect abundance and richness were recorded. Negative relationships occurred between increasing graminoid cover and insect abundances and between park size and insect richness. Furthermore, most insect groups were promoted by plant height (except honeybees and flies) and they correlated with specific dominant plants in many cases. Overall, this study demonstrates the positive roles of tall herbs in urban parks, clarifying the influence of park attributes and lawn features, pointing out that a less intensive management regime with informal green areas could effectively enhance urban insect biodiversity.

城市扩张改变了栖息地的可用性和结构，塑造了城市的自然元素。这引发了世界范围内减少城市化对生物多样性影响的努力，主要是对城市绿地进行生物多样性友好和不那么正式的管理。在此背景下，我们评估了草坪管理促进高草本植物对城市公园昆虫的影响。此外，我们还通过记录昆虫种类丰富度和若干类群（如蜜蜂、野蜂、黄蜂、食蚜蝇、非蚜蝇、甲虫、真虫、蚱蜢、鳞翅目）的总丰度和比例丰度，测试了刈割制度与绿地属性（如公园大小和树木分布）的相互作用。试验第一年的结果表明，未刈割区增加了昆虫丰度和物种丰富度，而与频繁刈割区相比，首次刈割后的高草本植物再生仅中等有益。花的丰富度对昆虫的丰富度有显著的正向贡献，而树木分布对昆虫的丰富度和丰富度有显著的正向贡献。禾本科盖度的增加与昆虫丰度呈负相关，公园面积与昆虫丰度呈负相关。此外，除蜜蜂和苍蝇外，大多数昆虫类群都受植物高度的影响，在许多情况下，它们与特定的优势植物相关。总体而言，本研究证明了高草本植物在城市公园中的积极作用，阐明了公园属性和草坪特征的影响，并指出在非正式绿地的基础上进行低集约管理可以有效提高城市昆虫的生物多样性。

Forestry is a field where scientific knowledge is needed to address diverse demands that the society positions towards forests. Forest management in urban forests is subject to public attention because of the growing pressure for recreation. Ecosystem provision requires the involvement of various stakeholders to ensure the acceptance of decisions. Finding a balance between forest management for timber production and other ecosystem services provision is challenging and requires scientists’ involvement.This article uses the RIU Model to analyse the process of science-policy transfer in formulating the agreement between the State Forest Enterprise and the City of Bratislava on forest management restrictions in urban forests. The results show that scientific knowledge served as a baseline for negotiations between the State Forest Enterprise and local government. The final agreement on strengthening recreation, forest management restrictions and consequent compensations was reached after concessions on both sides, although the final compensation amount was a politicsdriven process only partly based on experts´ scientific recommendations.

林业是一个需要科学知识来解决社会对森林的各种需求的领域。城市森林的森林管理受到公众的关注，因为娱乐的压力越来越大。提供生态系统需要各种利益相关者的参与，以确保决策被接受。在木材生产的森林管理和提供其他生态系统服务之间找到平衡是具有挑战性的，需要科学家的参与。本文利用RIU模型分析了布拉迪斯拉发国家森林企业与布拉迪斯拉发市之间关于城市森林经营限制协议的科学-政策转移过程。结果表明，科学知识是国有森林企业与地方政府谈判的基准。在双方作出让步后，就加强娱乐、森林管理限制和随之而来的赔偿达成了最终协议，尽管最终的赔偿金额是一个政治驱动的过程，只是部分基于专家 的科学建议。

Natural outdoor environments (NOE) provide health benefits; meanwhile, gentrification and touristification can be detrimental to health equity by modifying who benefits from NOE. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated gender-based health inequities and changed the use of NOE, while it also affected the course of neighborhood gentrification and touristification. We carried out a cross-sectional study in Barcelona to test whether changes in the use of NOE were related to women’s health and if perceived gentrification/touristification modified these associations. We found that maintained or increased use of NOE (particularly those closest to one’s residence) was significantly associated with lower odds of reporting poor general and mental health. Perceived gentrification and touristification were not effect modifiers of the associations. Our results indicate that contact with NOE should be promoted during pandemics like COVID-19.

室外自然环境（NOE）对健康有益；与此同时，城市化和旅游化可能会改变从室外自然环境中受益的人群，从而不利于健康公平。COVID-19 大流行加剧了基于性别的健康不平等，改变了人们对户外自然环境的使用，同时也影响了社区的城市化和旅游化进程。我们在巴塞罗那开展了一项横断面研究，以检验使用 NOE 的变化是否与女性健康有关，以及所感知到的城市化/旅游化是否改变了这些关联。我们发现，保持或增加使用 NOE（尤其是那些离居住地最近的 NOE）与报告总体和心理健康状况不佳的几率较低有很大关系。所认为的城市化和旅游化并不是这些关联的效果调节因素。我们的研究结果表明，在 COVID-19 等流行病期间，应促进与 NOE 的接触。

Because of the environmental and social benefits associated with urban greening, many cities around the world are implementing strategies to increase tree canopy cover, including along residential streets. However, procedures for developing and implementing these strategies do not always factor in public preferences, which can limit public acceptance. This paper explores public preferences for different characteristics of street trees. Where past studies have relied on capturing perceptions of street trees using rating scales for relatively few attributes, we apply best-worst scaling, which is a type of choice experiment, to assess preferences for 16 different tree characteristics. As the method requires trade-offs from respondents, it results in a systematic ranking of the tree characteristics considered, which represent different ecosystem services, physical attributes, and management requirements. We find that capacity to support local biodiversity and drought tolerance are the two characteristics that are most preferred. We also find that having visual appeal, requiring little maintenance, and having native origins are viewed favourably. Tree characteristics seen as less important include the size and growth rate of a tree, along with whether it holds cultural significance. Better understanding preferences for tree characteristics presents an opportunity for environmental managers to integrate tree species with more widely accepted attributes into urban greening programs.

由于与城市绿化相关的环境和社会效益，世界上许多城市正在实施增加树冠覆盖的战略，包括沿着住宅街道。然而，制定和执行这些战略的程序并不总是考虑到公众的偏好，这可能会限制公众的接受程度。本文探讨了公众对不同特征的行道树的偏好。过去的研究依赖于对相对较少的属性使用评级尺度来捕捉对行道树的感知，我们采用最佳-最差尺度，这是一种选择实验，来评估对16种不同树木特征的偏好。由于该方法需要从受访者中进行权衡，因此它可以对所考虑的树的特征进行系统排序，这些特征代表了不同的生态系统服务、物理属性和管理要求。我们发现，支持当地生物多样性的能力和抗旱能力是最受青睐的两个特征。我们还发现，具有视觉吸引力、几乎不需要维护和具有本土血统的建筑受到青睐。被认为不太重要的树木特征包括树木的大小和生长速度，以及它是否具有文化意义。更好地了解树木特性的偏好为环境管理者提供了一个机会，将具有更广泛接受属性的树种整合到城市绿化计划中。

Integrate brownfield greening into urban planning: A review from the perspective of ecosystem services 棕地绿化与城市规划的整合：生态系统服务视角综述

Brownfield greening (BG) is increasingly recognized as an important tool for improving the quality of life and urban sustainability in urban planning, yet our understanding of this topic remains limited. This paper aims to advance the state of knowledge of BG from the ecosystem services (ES) perspective and synthesize key findings to provide implications for integrating BG into urban planning. To achieve this aim, we conducted a systematic literature review of 58 papers, analyzing 1) general information, 2) ES provided by BG, 3) brownfield characteristics, and 4) targeted green spaces. Our findings indicate that BG has been garnering increasing attention in the academic field in recent years and showing a deeper integration with the ES concept, while most studies focused on developed countries rather than developing ones. Habitat and recreational services emerged as the most extensively discussed ES among the various identified ES. While some relationships were identified between brownfield characteristics and the delivery of ES, little research has directly investigated this connection and most studies lacked sufficient information on brownfield characteristics. The five main types of transformed green spaces identified in current research are general 'green space,' 'vegetated brownfield,' 'park,' 'woodland and forest,' and 'protected area'. For integrating BG into urban planning, we found that BG holds potential as a nature-based solution (NBS) towards multiple urban challenges and suggests applying comprehensive, dynamic management, planning and design tools to achieve sustainable BG in the future.

棕地绿化（BG）越来越被认为是城市规划中提高生活质量和城市可持续性的重要工具，但我们对这一主题的理解仍然有限。本文旨在从生态系统服务（ES）的角度推进BG的知识现状，并综合关键发现，为将BG纳入城市规划提供启示。为了实现这一目标，我们对58篇论文进行了系统的文献综述，分析了1)一般信息，2)BG提供的ES， 3)棕地特征，4)目标绿地。我们的研究结果表明，近年来BG在学术界受到越来越多的关注，并与ES概念呈现出更深层次的融合，但大多数研究集中在发达国家，而不是发展中国家。在各种已确定的生态系统中，栖息地和娱乐服务成为讨论最广泛的生态系统。虽然棕地特征与ES交付之间存在一些关系，但很少有研究直接调查这种联系，而且大多数研究缺乏棕地特征的足够信息。目前研究确定的五种主要类型的转化绿地是一般的“绿地”、“植被棕地”、“公园”、“林地和森林”和“保护区”。为了将BG整合到城市规划中，我们发现BG作为一种基于自然的解决方案（NBS）具有应对多种城市挑战的潜力，并建议应用全面、动态的管理、规划和设计工具来实现未来的可持续BG。

Spontaneous herbs provide natural solutions for the sustainable development of urban environments. However, a wide range of species losses have occurred because of the lack of knowledge regarding the impacts of human activities. The results from field investigation and analyses based on the three-scale factor framework were as follows: 1) At the district scale, the top four contributing factors were all tax and revenue indicators related to governmental income according to the Hierarchical Partitioning results. Compared with Ridge regression, Lasso regression demonstrated substantially higher predictive performance. 2) At the patch scale, among the variables investigated, Cement Roads, One-Floor Buildings, Public Service Land, and Main Roads were the most important (adjusted R² > 0.2). Three different multiple linear regression models explained 24.9 %–56.1 % of the variance. 3) At the plot scale, the herbs’ growth condition indicators presented significant influence. This study provides a three-scale factor framework and valuable data for quantifying the influence of human activities, which is critical for the sustainable development of cities.

The factors influencing urban plant diversity in tropical cities remain underexplored. To address this gap, we conducted comprehensive field surveys and remote sensing analyses in Danzhou, Hainan Province, focusing specifically on urban functional units. Our study quantified the diversity of trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants, spontaneous species, and cultivated species, employing spatial autocorrelation analysis to assess their relationships with land cover, socioeconomic factors, greening management practices, and landscape patterns. Our results revealed that recreational and leisure areas contained the highest proportions of urban green space, while transportation zones had the lowest. Herbaceous plants were predominant across key urban functional units, and cultivated species consistently outnumbered spontaneous species. Notably, the richness of tree species correlated positively with the age of urban construction, indicating a legacy effect. Additionally, effective greening management practices, such as watering and fertilization, were essential for enhancing plant diversity, and landscape pattern indices significantly affected species richness. These findings provide valuable insights for managing urban plant diversity in Danzhou and contribute to the understanding of the driving factors behind plant diversity in tropical urban environments.

热带城市植物多样性的影响因素尚未得到充分的研究。为了解决这一差距，我们在海南儋州进行了全面的实地调查和遥感分析，特别关注城市功能单元。本研究量化了乔木、灌木、草本植物、自然物种和栽培物种的多样性，采用空间自相关分析评估了它们与土地覆盖、社会经济因素、绿化管理实践和景观格局的关系。结果表明，休闲娱乐区城市绿地占比最高，交通运输区城市绿地占比最低。草本植物在城市主要功能单元中占主导地位，栽培物种数量持续超过自然物种。值得注意的是，树种丰富度与城市建设年龄呈正相关，表明存在遗留效应。此外，有效的绿化管理措施（如浇水和施肥）对提高植物多样性至关重要，景观格局指数对物种丰富度有显著影响。这些发现为儋州城市植物多样性的管理提供了有价值的见解，并有助于了解热带城市环境中植物多样性的驱动因素。

Enhancing quality of life in contemporary cities hinges on convenient access to parks and forests, offering avenues for physical activity and social engagement, as well as benefits for mental health and opportunities for educational pursuits. This comprehensive study delves into the accessibility to parks and forests across 33 major European cities, employing an interdisciplinary framework drawing from transportation and urban planning methodologies. By analysing accessibility to urban green spaces (UGS) through sustainable modes of transportation, the research aims at unveiling patterns shaped by population density, terrain elevation, city area and transportation infrastructure. Notably, disparities in accessibility emerge both within and between cities, with urban parks, typically nestled in city centres, exhibiting more equitable accessibility compared to forests, often situated on the outskirts. Further results show that the area of UGS, road network density, public transit availability, and elevation gradients influence parks and forests accessibility with different strengths and in different configurations, unveiling the complexity of green space distribution within urban landscapes. Across transportation modes, disparities in accessibility are most pronounced for pedestrians, accentuating the need for targeted interventions to bridge the gaps. The study also emphasizes the significance of discerning qualitative distinctions among diverse green spaces, advocating for tailored strategies in UGS planning. Acknowledging the pivotal role of parks in augmenting UGS accessibility, particularly in densely populated areas and for short-distance journeys, the paper underscores the urgency of fair provision. Finally, this research furnishes insights for policymakers and urban planners committed to fostering inclusive, healthy and sustainable urban environments.

提高当代城市的生活质量取决于方便地进入公园和森林，提供体育活动和社会参与的途径，以及有益于心理健康和追求教育的机会。这项综合研究深入研究了欧洲33个主要城市的公园和森林的可达性，采用了跨学科的框架，借鉴了交通和城市规划方法。通过分析可持续交通方式对城市绿地（UGS）的可达性，研究旨在揭示由人口密度、地形海拔、城市面积和交通基础设施形成的模式。值得注意的是，城市内部和城市之间的可达性存在差异，城市公园通常位于城市中心，与通常位于郊区的森林相比，可达性更为公平。研究结果表明，UGS面积、路网密度、公共交通可达性和高程梯度对公园和森林可达性的影响具有不同强度和不同配置，揭示了城市景观中绿地分布的复杂性。在各种交通方式中，行人在可达性方面的差异最为明显，因此需要采取有针对性的干预措施来弥合差距。该研究还强调了在不同的绿色空间中辨别质量差异的重要性，倡导在UGS规划中采用量身定制的策略。承认公园在增加UGS可达性方面的关键作用，特别是在人口密集地区和短途旅行中，该文件强调了公平提供的紧迫性。最后，本研究为致力于促进包容、健康和可持续城市环境的政策制定者和城市规划者提供了见解。
