TL;DR: It is found that the soil microbiomes found in large cities likely hold similar promise as rich unexplored sources of clinically relevant NPs, and a deeper exploration of local microbiomes may prove equally, if not, more productive.
Journal ArticleDOI
A city-scale assessment reveals that native forest types and overstory species dominate New York City forests.
Clara C. Pregitzer,Sarah Charlop-Powers,Silvia Bibbo,Helen M. Forgione,Bram Gunther,Richard A. Hallett,Mark A. Bradford +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that on average forest stand canopy is comprised of 82% native species in New York City forests, suggesting that conclusions that the urban canopy is co-dominated by nonnatives likely results from predominantly sampling street trees in prior city-scale assessments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advancing urban ecosystem governance in New York City: Shifting towards a unified perspective for conservation management
TL;DR: In this paper, the first comprehensive ecological assessment of urban natural areas was conducted through a collaborative effort across 4000ha of natural areas within New York City parkland, where field and spatial data were collected and analyzed to identify the extent of forests, the types of forests and their conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social-ecological research in urban natural areas: an emergent process for integration
Michelle L. Johnson,D. S. Novem Auyeung,Nancy F. Sonti,Clara C. Pregitzer,Heather McMillen,Richard A. Hallett,Lindsay K. Campbell,Helen M. Forgione,Mina Kim,Sarah Charlop-Powers,Erika S. Svendsen +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors integrate parallel social and ecological assessments of natural areas within New York City, and apply an informed, shared problem framing to investigate the relationships between visitor use and ecological condition in urban natural areas.
