Daniel T. C. Cox,Danielle F. Shanahan,Hannah L. Hudson,Kate E. Plummer,Gavin M. Siriwardena,Richard A. Fuller,Karen Anderson,Steven Hancock,Kevin J. Gaston +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate quantifiable associations of mental health with the characteristics of nearby nature that people actually experience and demonstrate that vegetation cover and afternoon bird abundances were positively associated with a lower prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress.

A Review of the Benefits of Nature Experiences: More Than Meets the Eye.
TL;DR: These non-visual avenues are potentially important for delivering benefits from nature experiences but the evidence base is relatively weak and often based on correlational studies; and deeper exploration of these sensory and non-sensory avenues is needed.

A room with a green view: the importance of nearby nature for mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
TL;DR: It is found that the frequency of greenspace use and the existence of green window views from within the home was associated with increased levels of self‐esteem, life satisfaction, and subjective happiness and decreased levels of depression, anxiety, and loneliness, suggesting that urban nature has great potential to be used as a nature‐based solution for improved public health.

Reduction of physiological stress by urban green space in a multisensory virtual experiment
Marcus Hedblom,Bengt Gunnarsson,Behzad Iravani,Igor Knez,Martin Schaefer,Pontus Thorsson,Johan N. Lundström +6 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that olfactory stimuli may be better at facilitating stress reduction than visual stimuli and currently, urban planners prioritise visual stimuli when planning open green spaces, but urban planners should also consider multisensory qualities.

The restorative benefits of nature: Toward an integrative framework
TL;DR: Attention Restoration Theory provides an analysis of the kinds of experiences that lead to recovery from such fatigue and an integrative framework is proposed that places both directed attention and stress in the larger context of human-environment relationships.
