Psychological benefits of greenspace increase with biodiversity
Richard A. Fuller,Katherine N. Irvine,Patrick Devine-Wright,Philip H. Warren,Kevin J. Gaston +4 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that greenspace users can more or less accurately perceive species richness depending on the taxonomic group in question, indicating that successful management of urban greenspaces should emphasize biological complexity to enhance human well-being in addition to biodiversity conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
What are the Benefits of Interacting with Nature
TL;DR: It is discovered that evidence for the benefits of interacting with nature is geographically biased towards high latitudes and Western societies, potentially contributing to a focus on certain types of settings and benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI
The science, policy and practice of nature-based solutions : An interdisciplinary perspective

TL;DR: To realise their full potential, NBS must be developed by including the experience of all relevant stakeholders such that 'solutions' contribute to achieving all dimensions of sustainability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity and the Feel-Good Factor: Understanding Associations between Self-Reported Human Well-being and Species Richness
Martin Dallimer,Martin Dallimer,Katherine N. Irvine,Andrew M. J. Skinner,Zoe G. Davies,James R. Rouquette,Lorraine Maltby,Philip H. Warren,Paul R. Armsworth,Kevin J. Gaston,Kevin J. Gaston +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the lack of a consistent relationship between actual plant, butterfly, and bird species richness and the psychological well-being of urban greenspace visitors was investigated, showing a positive relationship with the richness that the greenspace users perceived to be present.
Journal ArticleDOI
A national scale inventory of resource provision for biodiversity within domestic gardens
Zoe G. Davies,Richard A. Fuller,Alison Loram,Katherine N. Irvine,Victoria Sims,Kevin J. Gaston +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the extent to which domestic gardening activities are conducted and the level of resource provision for biodiversity (e.g., food and nesting sites) within domestic gardens remains poorly documented.
