A Decision Support Tool for Green Infrastructure Planning in the Face of Rapid Urbanization
Stakeholder Workshop We observed robust debate and in-depth conversations within the groups and between private consultants and city representatives at the first stakeholder workshop. In the forced ranking exercise, groups noted the interconnectedness of benefits, which made it challenging to consider them individually against the others.
Greening the city to prevent mental illness
Trees, grass and greenery lower the risk of mental health problems By PTI Trees, grass and greenery lower the risk of mental health problems. It's a lesson city planners need to learn. Children who grow up surrounded by trees, grass and green space have a lower risk of developing a mental illness later in life, according to Danish researchers.
Greening the city to prevent mental illness
Copenhagen, May 27 (360info) Trees, grass and greenery lower the risk of mental health problems. It’s a lesson city planners need to learn. Children who grow up surrounded by trees, grass and green space have a lower risk of developing a mental illness later in life, according to Danish researchers. Their findings, involving almost one million Danes, were more than an interesting correlation: the risk of mental health problems varied directly with the amount of green space available to the child.
The Association between Residential Green Space in Childhood and Development of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Population-Based Cohort Study | Environmental Health Perspectives | Vol. 128, No. 12
Background: Access to green space has been hypothesized to have a beneficial impact on children’s mental well-being and cognitive development. The underlying mechanisms of the mental health benefits of green space are not fully understood, but different pathways have been suggested, such as the psychologically restoring capacities of green space, the ability to facilitate physical activity and social cohesion, and the mitigation of exposure to air pollution.
Residential green space in childhood is associated with lower risk of psychiatric disorders from adolescence into adulthood
Significance Growing up in urban environments is associated with risk of developing psychiatric disorders, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Green space can provide mental health benefits and possibly lower risk of psychiatric disorders. This nation-wide study covering >900,000 people shows that children who grew up with the lowest levels of green space had up to 55% higher risk of developing a psychiatric disorder independent from effects of other known risk factors.

Strong upslope shifts in Chimborazo's vegetation over two centuries since Humboldt
SignificanceTropical regions harbor the majority of the world’s biodiversity, but there is debate about whether montane species here are able to track global warming at the same rate as in temperate regions. By following in Humboldt's footsteps and revisiting his pioneering documentation of vegetation elevation ranges, we show that the limit of plant growth has already been strongly pushed upslope.
