Special Issue Information

In our journal City Diversity, a special issue is calling for papers about cardiac and cardiovascular complications in COVID-19.

Biodiversity is vital to the processes that support all life on earth, including human beings. Without a wide variety of animals, plants and micro-organisms, we could not have the healthy ecosystems we are depending on to provide the air we breathe and the food we eat. And human beings must also value nature itself. Biodiversity loss is an urgent global problem. Most humans now live in cities. Biodiversity is caused by and influences humans.

Urban biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms found in the ecosystems of urban areas, and it is often measured as the number of species (and their abundance) found in each city or area of the city. Ways of integrating biodiversity concerns into urban planning and architectural design are urgently needed.

Generally speaking, greater species diversity (biodiversity) leads to greater city ecosystem stability. This is termed the city diversity stability hypothesis. An ecosystem that has a greater number of species is more likely to withstand a disturbance than an ecosystem of the same size with a lower number of species. Technically speaking, healthy biodiversity helps to build healthy city diversity.

In this issue, we are looking forward to soliciting articles on urban biodiversity. The following topics are suggested but not limited to: ecosystem service, habitat provision, regenerative design, detailed cases, city diversity stability hypothesis, etc.
