Urbanization, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services: Challenges and Opportunities: A Global Assessment
Open accessAbstract
Melbourne, Australia is a city rich in biodiversity.It contains a high proportion of open space and supports a large number of fl ora and fauna species, both indigenous to the region and introduced from around the world.The high levels of biodiversity are partly the result of historical planning decisions that did not deliberately consider biodiversity yet inadvertently favoured many plants and animals.However, Melbourne is currently at a tipping point whereby continued urban growth is likely to result in a loss of biodiversity if it is not explicitly and carefully considered in planning, policy and management.Enhancing biodiversity into the future will be aided by a reconciliation of underlying tensions between (1) growth and conservation and (2) the management of 'native' and 'exotic' vegetation that are currently embedded in a range of governance structures and public attitudes.This would enable the implementation of urban design that promotes biodiversity across the city as a whole.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
