Abstract

Greenspaces represent an ark for urban biodiversity, but understanding their carrying capacity to sustain species remains challenging. Old greenspaces that were fragmented from natural habitats are now overcrowded, while revegetated new greenspaces remain vacant. This is because they have different processes leading towards biodiversity equilibrium, and conservation management needs to differentiate between fragmented and revegetated greenspaces.
