TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of urban woodlands to serve as potential sites for biodiversity conservation was evaluated by analyzing bird, carabid beetle and small mammal community responses to urbanisation at different spatial scales.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a systemic modelling approach to the problem of how best to adapt cities is especially challenging as urban areas will evolve as the climate changes, and examine adaptation strategies for cities requires a strong interdisciplinary approach involving urban planners, architects, meteorologists, building engineers, economists, and social scientists.

TL;DR: The results show that there is both a climatic gradient and a developmental gradient corresponding to the type of urbanisation in the town of Rennes, France, and the developmental phases of preflowering and flowering are influenced to differing extents by climatic variables.

TL;DR: This study provides a structural framework in six steps that combines narratives and model-based approaches to explore urban climate impacts in the long term and at a fine scale and provides insights into key triggers to improve urban adaptation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model (SLEUTH*) for projecting contrasting urban growth futures, which is derived from the SLEUTH model, which has been modified in order to incorporate an additional spatially explicit factor, and to be used in a fully controlled forecasting mode.
