Analysis of the ecological role of urban centers in Europe and North America: The impact of built parkland in richness and abundance of birds

Key Points

• Bird richness and abundance are influenced by built parkland in urban centers, enhancing biodiversity.
• Findings suggest that urban parks can support diverse bird species, contributing to ecological health.
• Assessment using ecological analysis across cities indicates a positive correlation between parkland and bird populations.
• Results may enable better urban planning practices to support wildlife diversity in city environments.
