“…Migration and population growth in urban agglomerations stimulate the demand for land, including areas of high natural quality [37]. This contributes to the progressing fragmentation of forests [38] and the successive reduction of forest areas and their transformation into residential areas [39]. The local and regional sequences of natural connections are being cut.…”

This paper investigates the social, demographic, and economic factors determining differences between forest identification based on remote sensing techniques and land registry. The Database of Topographic Objects and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery data from 2018 were used to train a forest detection supervised machine learning model. Results aggregated to communes (NUTS-5 units) were compared to data from land registry delivered in Local Data Bank by Statistics Poland. The differences identified between above mentioned sources were defined as errors of land registry. Then, geographically weighted regression was applied to explain spatially varying impact of investigated errors’ determinants: Urbanization processes, civic society development, education, land ownership, and culture and quality of spatial planning. The research area covers the entirety of Poland. It was confirmed that in less developed areas, local development policy stimulating urbanization processes does not respect land use planning principles, including the accuracy of land registry. A high education level of the society leads to protective measures before the further increase of the investigated forest cover’s overestimation of the land registry in substantially urbanized areas. Finally, higher coverage by valid local spatial development plans stimulate protection against forest classification errors in the land registry.

“…This study sought to assess the potential of TBGs to conserve biodiversity in urban settings by using the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Botanic Garden as a case study. From a conservation viewpoint, the value of the garden is downplayed by lack of research to explicitly capture the conservation status, genetic variation, and extent of its plant resources particularly because urbanization, settlement development, and other land uses within the urban landscape pose major threats to forest cover and biodiversity (Anarfi et al, 2020; Mensah et al, 2020; Sejati et al, 2018). In this paper, we fill this gap by addressing the following questions: (1) What is the composition (e.g.…”

The role of urban tropical botanic gardens in biodiversity conservation: An example from the KNUST botanic garden in Kumasi, Ghana

Recent concerns to strengthen the role of Tropical Botanic Gardens (TBGs) in conservation are constrained by inadequate representation of models of best practices. This also presents minimal opportunities to explore and fully appreciate the contribution of botanic gardens to biodiversity conservation, especially in urban landscapes.We contribute to addressing this issue using the KNUST Botanic Garden. The study explores biodiversity variation in two microsites (upland and inundated areas), within the context of threats from urbanization. The composition, diversity, and conservation status of plants were assessed from three 50 × 50 m plots each located at the two microsites. A total of 78 adult plant species were recorded, with 87.2% native and 12.8% exotic species. Some species were exclusively recorded at the upland (29 species) and inundated (27 species) microsites. On average, the species diversity was significantly high (H I = 3.36). The botanic garden preserves 20 nationally threatened native species, with over half of them listed in the IUCN Red List category of vulnerable species (species facing high risk of extinction in the wild). A considerable number of threatened species were exclusive to the upland (10 species) and inundated (7 species) microsites. The results indicate that the Botanic Garden could play a critical role in biodiversity conservation if integrated into national conservation and urban development strategies to safeguard its potential. The findings of the study are discussed within the context of the contribution of botanic gardens to biodiversity conservation and holds applications for sustainable management of TBGs in urban landscapes.

“…However, urbanization transforms the local biophysical environment especially forestland (Sejati et al, 2018) and accelerates biodiversity loss (Akinnifesi et al, 2010). The removal of trees and breakdown of traditional agroforestry systems (Thaman et al, 2006) associated with urbanization attributed to greatest local extinction rates and frequently eliminates the large majority of native species (Mckinney, 2002).…”

Homegardens in urban are found to be an important refuge for native biodiversity and provide huge contribution for climate change mitigation. The study was undertaken to investigate potential of homegarden in conservation of woody species and carbon sequestration in Jimma City. A complete listing of woody species within 138 homegardens and 39 sample plot size 10m×10m (100m 2) were surveyed. Diameter at breast) height and the height of the tree were measured. Shannon diversity and Jaccard coefficient of similarity index were used to determine the species composition. Allometric equation was used to estimate aboveground carbon stocks of woody species. A total of 40 woody species (36 in homegarden and 22 in government institution) belonging to 24 families were recorded. Very significantly higher (P<0.001) species richness and diversity were observed in homegardens. But no significant difference was observed (p>0.5) among homegardens in three kebeles. Jaccard coefficient of similarity index (47.5%) showed low similarity in woody composition between two systems. About 2,877.13Mgha-1 (884.2 Mgha-1 in homegarden &1,992.95Mgha-1 in government institution) carbon of about 319.57Mg of CO2 equivalents were measured. Very highly significant (p<0.001) and non-significant difference (p>0.05) in carbon storage were observed between systems and among homegardens respectively. The result reveled homegardens in Jimma city have good potential for biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation. Hence, responsible bodies need to consider the role of homegarden in maintaining native biodiversity and climate change mitigation in urban development planning.
