Tóm tắt

Tóm tắt

Quá trình đô thị hóa nhanh chóng và sự suy giảm đa dạng sinh học toàn cầu cần thiết phải phát triển một chương trình nghiên cứu nhằm giải quyết những khoảng trống kiến thức trong sinh thái đô thị, điều này sẽ góp phần thông báo cho chính sách, quản lý và bảo tồn. Để thúc đẩy mục tiêu này, chúng tôi trình bày sáu chủ đề để theo đuổi trong nghiên cứu về đa dạng sinh học đô thị: các yếu tố kinh tế - xã hội và xã hội - sinh thái thúc đẩy sự suy giảm đa dạng sinh học so với sự gia tăng đa dạng sinh học; phản ứng của đa dạng sinh học với sự thay đổi công nghệ; mối quan hệ giữa đa dạng sinh học và dịch vụ hệ sinh thái; các khu vực đô thị như là nơi trú ẩn cho đa dạng sinh học; sự động thái không gian - thời gian của các loài, những thay đổi trong cộng đồng và các quá trình tiềm ẩn; và các mạng sinh thái. Chúng tôi thảo luận về những xem xét chung và đưa ra một tập hợp các câu hỏi nhằm truyền cảm hứng và hỗ trợ nghiên cứu về đa dạng sinh học đô thị. Song song đó, chúng tôi kêu gọi việc giao tiếp và hợp tác giữa nhiều lĩnh vực và ngành học nhằm xây dựng năng lực cho nghiên cứu, giáo dục và thực hành về đa dạng sinh học đô thị. Tổng thể, chúng tôi ghi nhận rằng các khu vực đô thị sẽ đóng một vai trò quan trọng trong việc giải quyết cuộc khủng hoảng tuyệt chủng toàn cầu.
