Influence of landscape components on species recruitment in cities

This paper describes a field study carried out as part of the Urban Regeneration and the Environment (URGENT) Biodiversity in Urban Habitats initiative. The plant species present in early successional plant communities were recorded for 39 derelict land sites across the West Midlands conurbation during the summer of 1998.... An outline is presented of additional investigations which need to be undertaken into plant species movement within cities in order to underpin planning and management decisions in the urban environment.
