Abstract

City biodiversity is an important part of global biodiversity conservation, and city biodiversity conservation needs to start with measurement and criteria. This paper introduces the Singapore index and Japanese index, and also introduces city biodiversity index conceptual framework which is developed based on the “driving force–pressure–status–impact–response model”. The trend of city biodiversity index development is pointed out, i. e, to build a city biodiversity index of different scales, to build cooperative and shared information infrastructure and to evaluate city biodiversity index itself. At the end, in view of the status quo of city biodiversity index in China and the requirements of urban development, this paper proposes the conception of city biodiversity index development in China from the perspectives of local urban biodiversity, ecosystem service functions and urban management measures.
