- Evidence-based urban greening: a missing piece in biodiversity . . .
The gap between urban ecosystem science and practice is in large part caused by a lack of actionable evidence; the limited focus in the scientific literature on how to apply findings in practice poses a barrier to implementation [2, 12] Given the large heterogeneity between cities, researchers should be incentivized to focus more on local
