Spatial Heterogeneity of Plant Diversity within and between Neighborhoods and Its Implications for a Plant Diversity Survey in Urban Areas

Abstract: The spatial heterogeneity of plant diversity at the neighborhood scale has less been understood, although it is very important for the planning and management of neighborhood landscape. In this case study of Beijing, we conducted intensive investigations of the plant diversity in different neighborhoods along a rural–urban gradient. The results showed that the mean numbers of plant species per neighborhood were 30.5 for trees, 18.8 for shrubs, and 31.9 for herbs, respectively. There were significant logarithmi… Show more

“…This increase is mainly attributed to the growth of NO 2 emissions from transportation and domestic sources [27]. There are around 55 species of trees planted in Beijing, and the main functional group of urban trees are deciduous broadleaf species and evergreen coniferous species, such as Populus tomentosa Carrière, Sophora japonica L., Fraxinus chinensis Roxb., Sabina chinensis L., and Pinus tabuliformis Carrière [28]. The green cover rate in Beijing has steadily increased from 47.4% to 48.5% during the period of 2014-2019 [24].…”

“…The green cover rate in Beijing has steadily increased from 47.4% to 48.5% during the period of 2014-2019 [24]. There is a gradient pattern for urban forests in Beijing, with significant differences in species and functional traits between urban and suburban districts [28,29].…”

“…To clarify the importance of climate versus anthropogenic factors, a series of comparative studies using standardized sampling protocols was conducted to quantify plant diversity in different urban habitats across several cities in Europe and North America (Celesti Grapow & Blasi, 1998; Loram et al, 2008; Lososová et al, 2011, 2012a, 2012b, 2018; Čeplová et al, 2017; Kalusová et al, 2017; Glišić et al, 2021). In Asia, urban biodiversity studies have been conducted mainly in the southeast regions of the continent (e.g., Su et al, 2021; Cheng et al, 2022), while studies in continental inland Asia have considered urban plant communities mainly for syntaxonomic classification of ruderal vegetation (Klimeš, 1989), development of phytoremediation techniques for industrial sites (Shilova, 1989), or urban greening and planning (Vakhlamova et al, 2016; Ishankulоva et al, 2021). Consequently, very few global reviews have included the urban vegetation of continental Asia (Ruan et al, 2019; Li et al, 2020) or examined the factors that affect plant diversity and composition in cities of this region.…”
