Outcomes | All outcomes related to the included populations including, but not restricted to, biology/physiology (e.g. body size, growth), space use (e.g. species distribution, individual movements), ecosystem composition (e.g. species richness, abundance) and species behaviour (e.g. reproduction, predation) | Measures of genetic, physico-chemical or chemical variables (e.g.: climate, temperature, carbone storage) |
Context | Intra-urban or city scale in cities of the temperate biogeographical zone according to Olson & Dinerstein (1998) classification of biomes: temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, temperate coniferous forests and Mediterranean forests, woodlands and scrub | -Reference to rural context; -National or regional scale; -All other biogeographical zones (e.g.: tropical, boreal) |
