While all trees can have some benefits, many of the benefits of nature in cities are linked to biodiversity — not just greenery. Read more from: Biodiversity Council's Sarah Bekessy from ICON Science RMIT RMIT University biodiversitycouncil.org.au/news/trees-ple…

The tangle of greenery along railway lines, flowers growing on vacant lots, or unmown grassy patches under power lines, it turns out people in cities engage with nature in all these spaces, write researchers from RMIT University. theconversation.com/our-cities-sec…

New paper from ICON Science @RMIT_CUR @HughStanford1 Holly Kirk (@hollykirk .bluesky.social) @GeorgiaGarrard Joe Hurley
Overseas, the ‘3-30-300' city planning rule is increasingly seen as critical to human health and wellbeing. But new research from RMIT University has found Sydney and Melbourne are failing when it comes to one key component - tree cover. au.news.yahoo.com/two-aussie-cit…
Many cities fail the 3-30-300 benchmark for urban nature. The ‘3’ is often met and the ‘300’ is patchy due to poor tree canopy coverage. Cities need better planting conditions and governance to support tree growth Thami Croeser Terrestrial Ecology Roshan Sharma Sarah Bekessy nature.com/articles/s4146…
