摘      要：Urbanization provides both challenges and opportunities for biodiversity conservation,but patterns of urban plant diversity across land uses,especially in Asian countries,remains *** determine these patterns of diversity,woody plants in 174 sample quadrats across various land use types in Kyoto City were ***,abundance,and evenness were evaluated at city,land use,and quadrat scales,and biodiversity of different land use types was *** the city level,223 species in 77 families were *** the land use level,residential areas had the highest total biological richness,with moderate to low evenness,while commercial areas exhibited low *** the quadrat level,the low-rise residential area had higher species richness than the other land *** abundance and evenness in quadrats were significantly different across land use types for the canopy layer but not for the *** results provide insights into urban biodiversity design and management by identifying prior land uses for biodiversity improvement and by highlighting the contribution of residential private *** heterogeneity,scale,and multidimensionality should be considered when measuring urban biodiversity.
