Urban Contexts and Urban-Rural Interactions
A section of Land (ISSN 2073-445X).
Section Information
The “Urban Contexts and Urban–Rural Interactions” section of Land welcomes contributions focusing on both patterns and processes in urban landscapes and cities as well as along the urban–rural gradient. The section is open to submissions dealing with urban land use change, urbanization impacts on ecosystems and their services in cities, the future of peri-urbanization, the urban heat island, biodiversity aspects, wildlife and nature conservation in urban ecosystems and along urban boundaries, urban planning and governance of green infrastructure and nature-based solutions, sustainable cities, and the role of big data in urban social-ecological land study.
Manuscripts can be of a conceptual-theoretical nature. We welcome case studies and other applied research, “state of science and beyond’’ reviews, and topical short communications. Inter- and transdisciplinary manuscripts are highly welcome as well as proposals for Special Issues in the field of “Urban Contexts and Urban–Rural Interactions”.
