  • An integrative social-ecological approach for urban boundary mapping

    Open AccessChenmeng Guo, Guopan Xie et al.ARTICLEApplied Geography2025

    Clear definition and accurate delineation of urban boundaries are the prerequisite for urban-rural studies. However, urban boundaries have been typically mapped based either on biophysical or socio-economical properties, resulting in barriers in conducting integrative social-ecological studies. Here, we developed a new approach that integrates the biophysical and socio-economical perspectives for urban boundaries mapping, and tested the approach …

  • Forging just ecologies

    Open AccessJ Morgan Grove, Steward T A Pickett et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2024Citada por: 3Referencias: 99

    We ask how environmental justice and urban ecology have influenced one another over the past 25 years in the context of the US Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program and Baltimore Ecosystem Study (BES) project. BES began after environmental justice emerged through activism and scholarship in the 1980s but spans a period of increasing awareness among ecologists and environmental practitioners. The work in Baltimore provides a detailed exampl…

  • Shifting forward

    Open AccessSteward T A Pickett, Niki Frantzeskaki et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2024Citada por: 1Referencias: 52

    The world has become urban; cities increasingly shape our worldviews, relation to other species, and the large-scale, long-term decisions we make. Cities are nature, but they need to align better with other ecosystems to avoid accelerating climate change and loss of biodiversity. We need a science to guide urban development across the diverse realities of global cities. This need can be met, in part, by shifts in urban ecology and its linkages to…

  • A transformative shift in urban ecology toward a more active and relevant future for the field and for cities

    Open AccessNiki Frantzeskaki, Daniel L Childers et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2024Citada por: 6Referencias: 107

    This paper builds on the expansion of urban ecology from a biologically based discipline—ecology in the city—to an increasingly interdisciplinary field—ecology of the city—to a transdisciplinary, knowledge to action endeavor—an ecology for and with the city. We build on this “prepositional journey” by proposing a transformative shift in urban ecology, and we present a framework for how the field may continue this shift. We conceptualize that urba…

  • From urban ecology to urban enquiry

    Open AccessErik Andersson, Timon Mcphearson et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2024Citada por: 3Referencias: 110

    This paper positions urban ecology as increasingly conversant with multiple perspectives and methods for understanding the functions and qualities of diverse cities and urban situations. Despite progress in the field, we need clear pathways for positioning, connecting and synthesising specific knowledge and to make it speak to more systemic questions about cities and the life within them. These pathways need to be able to make use of diverse sour…

  • The relational shift in urban ecology

    Open AccessSteward T A Pickett, Abdoumaliq Simone et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2024Citada por: 5Referencias: 211

    This perspective emerged from ongoing dialogue among ecologists initiated by a virtual workshop in 2021. A transdisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners conclude that urban ecology as a science can better contribute to positive futures by focusing on relationships, rather than prioritizing urban structures. Insights from other relational disciplines, such as political ecology, governance, urban design, and conservation also contribute.…

  • Transforming US urban green infrastructure planning to address equity

    Open AccessZbigniew R Grabowski, Timon Mcphearson et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2023

    Cities across the Unites States have embraced green infrastructure (GI) in official planning efforts. The plans conceptualize GI as providing multiple functions and benefits for urban residents, and form part of complex responses to intersectional urban challenges of social injustice and inequity, climate change, aging and expensive infrastructure, and socio-economic change. To date, it is unclear whether official city GI programs address systemi…

  • Regulatory requirements and voluntary interventions create contrasting distributions of green stormwater infrastructure in Baltimore, Maryland

    Open AccessJoanna P Solins, Amanda K Phillips de Lucas et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2023

    Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) has been increasingly promoted as a strategy to augment gray infrastructure because it can reduce flooding, improve water quality, and provide additional social and ecological benefits. Government regulations in many places now require or encourage the use of GSI to mitigate impacts of development, while numerous funding opportunities incentivize installation of additional GSI features to enhance community an…

  • The impact of air pollution on behavior changes and outdoor recreation in Chinese cities

    Open AccessGanlin Huang, Yaqiong Jiang et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2023

  • Ecologies, One and All

    Open AccessAnne Rademacher, Mary L Cadenasso et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Humanities2023

    This essay considers ecology in its singular and plural forms. Although Western science, with singular ecology as one of its many descendants, leaves an undeniable imprint, the essay aims to ask whether the contemporary, lived life of ecological science as postpositivist practice might be working in ways that, while imperfect, may be more legible and shared with scholars in the environmental humanities than is usually noted. It describes the know…

  • Resilience of racialized segregation is an ecological factor

    Open AccessSteward T A Pickett, J Morgan Grove et al.ARTICLEBuildings and Cities2023Citada por: 2Referencias: 13

    Segregation by racialized categories is common to cities across the world and its social effects are well studied. However, the environmental effects—the ecology of segregation—have received less attention. Racialized segregation persists through time and is associated with environmental hazards or lack of amenities. The environmental burdens of racial segregation are increasingly documented and this paper synthesizes the dynamics of segregation …

  • Golden Wildebeest Days

    Open AccessDavid Bunn, Bram Büscher et al.ARTICLEJournal of Southern African Studies2022Citada por: 2

    There are renewed global efforts to make wildlife conservation the foundation for broad-based economic development. This article looks at these tendencies in the 'Kruger to Canyons' (K2C) biosphere region in South Africa, encompassing the Kruger National Park and adjacent settlement areas and reserves. Various forms of the wildlife economy have a long history in this region. However, it is increasingly posited as a preternatural means for creatin…

  • Residential housing segregation and urban tree canopy in 37 US Cities

    Open AccessDexter H Locke, Billy Hall et al.ARTICLEnpj Urban Sustainability2021

    Redlining was a racially discriminatory housing policy established by the federal government’s Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) during the 1930s. For decades, redlining limited access to homeownership and wealth creation among racial minorities, contributing to a host of adverse social outcomes, including high unemployment, poverty, and residential vacancy, that persist today. While the multigenerational socioeconomic impacts of redlining are…

    Legacies of social and environmental injustices can leave an imprint on the present and constrain transitions for more sustainable futures. In this article, we ask this question: What is the relationship of environmental inequality and histories of segregation? The answer for Baltimore is complex, where past practices of de jure and de facto segregation have created social and environmental legacies that persist on the landscape today. To answer …

  • Advancing Urban Ecology toward a Science of Cities

    Timon Mcphearson, Steward T A Pickett et al.ARTICLEBioScience2016

    Urban ecology is a field encompassing multiple disciplines and practical applications and has grown rapidly. However, the field is heterogeneous as a global inquiry with multiple theoretical and conceptual frameworks, variable research approaches, and a lack of coordination among multiple schools of thought and research foci. Here, we present an international consensus on how urban ecology can advance along multiple research directions. There is …

  • Spatial-Temporal Variations of Water Quality and Its Relationship to Land Use and Land Cover in Beijing, China

    Open AccessXiang Chen, Weiqi Zhou et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2016

    Rapid urbanization with intense land use and land cover (LULC) change and explosive population growth has a great impact on water quality. The relationship between LULC characteristics and water quality provides important information for non-point sources (NPS) pollution management. In this study, we first quantified the spatial-temporal patterns of five water quality variables in four watersheds with different levels of urbanization in Beijing, …

  • An Ecology for Cities

    Open AccessDaniel L Childers, Daniel Childers et al.ARTICLESustainability2015

    Cities around the world are facing an ever-increasing variety of challenges that seem to make more sustainable urban futures elusive. Many of these challenges are being driven by, and exacerbated by, increases in urban populations and climate change. Novel solutions are needed today if our cities are to have any hope of more sustainable and resilient futures. Because most of the environmental impacts of any project are manifest at the point of de…
