Microarthropods communities as indicators of soil quality in a Mediterranean periurban forest using the QBS-ar index by Cristina Rodríguez-Pajares, E. Jordán Muñoz-Adalia, Mercedes Fernández-Fernández

“…Soil parameters were analysed in situ: surface stoniness (SuS), leaf litter weight (Lw), and in the laboratory with the following parameters: soil humidity (Hu), bulk density (Bd), real density (Rd), porosity (P), sample stoniness (SoS), percentage of litter (Lc), soil texture (T), and organic matter (OM). The main variables that caused variations in these indicators by biotope were identified through a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and analysed using generalized linear models (GLMs). …”

The Effects of Land Use Mix on Urban Vitality: A Systemic Conceptualization and Mechanistic Exploration by Yuefei Zhuo, Hangang Hu, Guan Li

“…Key findings include the following: (1) LUM significantly enhances urban vitality, acting as a crucial urban system configuration for both daytime and nighttime activity. (2) The efficacy of LUM stems more from systemic interconnections—convenient access to adjacent spaces (proximity) and functional coordination among diverse land uses—than mere compositional diversity, emphasizing the importance of interrelated elements within the urban fabric. (3) The system’s response to LUM exhibits significant spatial and temporal heterogeneity; proximity’s impact is most variable, while diversity and coordination effects are more stable, underscoring the dynamic and context-dependent nature of these interactions. (4) System-adaptive strategies are crucial: newly developed urban areas benefit from foundational infrastructure and land use diversity (system inputs), while revitalizing older towns requires optimizing spatial accessibility and functional coordination (enhancing existing system linkages). …”
