Urban landscape pattern affects plant diversity in green spaces: Evidence from street view imagery by Yang Ye, Hongfei Qiu, Xingcan Zhou, Xiong Li

“…This street view imagery-based survey for 40 green spaces in Wuhan showed that the mean ± variance of plant diversity is arbor (1.39 ± 0.13) > weighted (1.34 ± 0.15) > shrub (1.12 ± 0.14) > herb (1.10 ± 0.24). Second, we calculated twelve landscape metrics based on land use and land cover data to describe urban landscape pattern in Wuhan, and found that the geographically weighted regression model had a greater ability to explain the influence of urban landscape on plant diversity. …”
