Summary

Researchers from the University of Helsinki, Natural Resources Institute Finland, Tamkang University

Researchers from the University of Helsinki, Natural Resources Institute Finland, Tamkang University and National Taiwan University investigated how the Green View Index (GVI) relates to the richness and diversity of bacteria in the Taipei metropolitan area in Taiwan. The more vegetation in the area, the richer its microbial community. The Green View Index measures visible greenery from the pedestrian perspective. The work is published in the journal Landscape and Urban Planning.
