TL;DR: In this article, the authors used photo-elicitation studies and a controlled perennial meadow creation experiment at ten urban green spaces in southern England (five experimental sites and five control sites) to assess green-space visitors' responses to urban meadows.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used experimental perennial urban meadows in southern England to investigate the impact of creating biodiverse habitats on green-space users' i) physical and mental health, psychological well-being, ii) factors moderating health and wellbeing outcomes (site satisfaction and nature connectedness), and iii) perceived biodiversity.

TL;DR: It is suggested that diversification of urban greenspace by planting urban meadows in place of some mown amenity grassland is likely to generate substantial biodiversity benefits, with a mosaic of meadow types likely to maximize such benefits.

TL;DR: In this article, the concepts of cultural capital, social capital and human capital were developed to understand what drives people to interact with nature, a lack of appropriate data to quantify these interactions, and basic difficulties in measuring and modelling the complex array of social, psychological and behavioural attributes which help explain people's actions.
