Nature in cities and beyond is essential both to species conservation and to provide fulfilling environments for people. But natural spaces in urban places require management, both the protect species and to maintain human health. Research on urban nature often involves those species that can persist within a city and in urban fragments. It also includes the urban forest, which is not necessarily natural, but provides valuable habitat for wildlife and irreplaceable ecosystems services.
