Perceived biodiversity
Open AccessKevin Rozario, Taylor Shaw et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025
Biodiversity is crucial for human health and well‐being. Perceived biodiversity—people's subjective experience of biodiversity—seems to be particularly relevant for mental well‐being. Using photographs and audio recordings of forests that varied in levels of biodiversity, we conducted two sorting studies to assess how people perceive visual and acoustic diversity and whether their perceptions align with species richness and proxies for forest str…

The more the merrier? Perceived forest biodiversity promotes short‐term mental health and well‐being—A multicentre study
Open AccessKevin Rozario, Rachel Rui Ying Oh et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2024
Forests can foster mental health and well‐being. Yet, the contribution of forest biodiversity remains unclear, and experimental research is needed to unravel pathways of biodiversity–health linkages. Here, we assess the role of tree species richness, both actual and perceived, and how stress reduction and attention restoration can serve as potential mediating pathways to achieve positive mental health and well‐being outcomes. We conducted an expe…
Participation changed my mindset. Transformative learning about agrobiodiversity in citizen science projects
Frederik Gerits, Hanne Cooreman et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Education Research2023Cited by: 1References: 9
Within citizen science projects, learning about natural resources can encourage environmentally friendly behaviour. More empirical understanding is needed on how citizen science projects facilitate learning outcomes to support sustainable resource management, such as agrobiodiversity. Here we present the learning outcomes of a citizen science project where participants interacted with agrobiodiversity in landscape observatories in Flanders (Belgi…

Contributions of a global network of tree diversity experiments to sustainable forest plantations
Open AccessKris Verheyen, Margot Vanhellemont et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2016Cited by: 1References: 44
The area of forest plantations is increasing worldwide helping to meet timber demand and protect natural forests. However, with global change, monospecific plantations are increasingly vulnerable to abiotic and biotic disturbances. As an adaption measure we need to move to plantations that are more diverse in genotypes, species, and structure, with a design underpinned by science. TreeDivNet, a global network of tree diversity experiments, respon…

From “smart regulation” to “regulatory arrangements”
Open AccessPeter Van Gossum, Bas Arts et al.ARTICLEPolicy Sciences2010Cited by: 10References: 5
When regulators are faced with practical challenges, policy instrument choice theories can help them find the best solution. However, not all such theories are equally helpful. This paper aims to offer regulators a better alternative to the current policy instrument choice theories. We will specifically address the shortcomings of “smart regulation theory” and present an alternative that keeps the best of that theory while remediating its weak po…
