Linking street-level greenery to environmental microbial diversity
Urbanization has led to a significant reduction in green spaces, altering microbial habitats and potentially contributing to the growing prevalence of immune-mediated diseases. Urban greenery may serve as a reservoir for more diverse environmental microbiota, yet the links between street-level vegetation and environmental microbial diversity remain poorly understood. This study investigates how the visibility of greenery, measured through the Gre…
Child Ecologies in a Microbial World
All bodies—child, animal, plant—are bodies sustained by life processes. Human as well as animal and plant bodies coexist with a multiplicity of microbial life. As symbiotic partners, human bodies are ecosystems of microbial life in a microbial world. In this way, microbes cannot simply be seen as disease-causing and human bodies as hosts of human-only life. Simplistic notions of the child as a unitary and social subject and the image of the agent…
Scoping review on soil microbiome and gut health—Are soil microorganisms missing from the planetary health plate
Evidence suggests that soil microorganisms, to which humans have been exposed throughout our evolutionary history, were essential for the evolution of the human gut microbiome and immunological resilience. In recent decades, gut microbial diversity has decreased along with urbanization and global loss of biodiversity. At the same time, the prevalence of chronic, non‐communicable inflammatory diseases has been increasing in urbanized societies. He…
Do Rural Second Homes Shape Commensal Microbiota of Urban Dwellers? A Pilot Study among Urban Elderly in Finland
According to the hygiene and biodiversity hypotheses, increased hygiene levels and reduced contact with biodiversity can partially explain the high prevalence of immune-mediated diseases in developed countries. A disturbed commensal microbiota, especially in the gut, has been linked to multiple immune-mediated diseases. Previous studies imply that gut microbiota composition is associated with the everyday living environment and can be modified by…
Greening of Daycare Yards with Biodiverse Materials Affords Well-Being, Play and Environmental Relationships
Nature contacts are recognized as positively contributing to humans' health and well-being. Although there have been projects to green daycare or schoolyards, yard greening and microbial biodiversity have never been studied simultaneously. We asked whether simultaneously increasing biodiversity exposure and greening urban daycare yards affects 3-5 years-old children's physical activity and play, their environmental relationships, and their percei…
