Managing forest and meadow habitats for the enhancement of urban biodiversity : messages from carabid beetles and vascular plants (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
This thesis investigates the ecological impacts of urbanization on carabid beetle and vascular plant communities in forested and dry meadow habitats in Helsinki, Finland. Key research methods include multivariate ordination analyses to assess responses at the assemblage level and generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) for individual species responses. Findings indicate that urban biodiversity is primarily affected by habitat fragmentation and isolation, challenging prior theories of species distribution. Recommendations focus on maintaining large, contiguous habitats and enhancing habitat networks through restoration efforts to support urban biodiversity.
