Principles of restoration ecology include the theory of restrictive factors, structure theory of ecosystem ecological fitness theory, niche theory, community succession theory, biodiversity theory and patch-corridor-matrix theory, etc. These theories for urban ecosystem characteristics, reflecting and improving the urban ecological environment with the original content, having great insight in the amount, shape and guidelines to build urban landscape system, its not only becoming the urban landscape system planning and important theoretical foundation of the building, but also providing a new way of thinking for the construction of urban landscape system.

Urban Ecosystem Health

Background: Microbiome-Inspired Green Infrastructure (MIGI) was recently proposed as an integrative system to promote healthy urban ecosystems, through multidisciplinary design. Specifically, MIGI is defined as nature-centric infrastructure restored and/or designed and managed to enhance health-promoting interactions between humans and environmental microbiomes, whilst sustaining microbially-mediated ecosystem functionality and resilience. MIGI also aims to stimulate a research agenda that focuses on considerations for the importance of urban environmental microbiomes. Objectives: In this paper we provide details of what MIGI entails from a bioscience and biodesign perspective, highlighting the potential dual benefits for human and ecosystem health. We present ‘what is known’ about the relationship between urban microbiomes, green infrastructure and environmental factors that may affect urban ecosystem health (ecosystem functionality and resilience as well as human health). We discuss how to start operationalising the MIGI concept based on current available knowledge, and present a horizon scan of emerging and future considerations in research and practice. We conclude by highlighting challenges to the implementation of MIGI and propose a series of workshops to discuss multi-stakeholder needs and opportunities. Discussion: This article will enable urban landscape managers to incorporate initial considerations for the microbiome in their development projects to promote human and ecosystem health. However, overcoming the challenges to operationalising MIGI will be essential to furthering its practical development. Although the research is in its infancy, there is considerable potential for MIGI to help deliver sustainable urban development driven by considerations for reciprocal relations between humans and the foundations of our ecosystems –– the microorganisms.

The City

This chapter aims to describe the urban morphology of the city of Lisbon within its identity creation process throughout time, according to an ecological condition approach. Based on a new landscape interpretation model, it aims to contribute to a better understanding of the current sustainability issues of the urban landscape (as a system of systems), following an interrelated analysis of the confluence between how it functions ecologically and human occupation processes. It is, therefore, a useful contribution to spatial planning decisions and policies transposed into territorial management tools, particularly with regard to urban ecosystem services: improved urban life and the introduction of positive elements that are economically measurable for better management of the city and reduced risk.

As the ecological infrastructure, the development of the ecological function of urban landscapes is determined not only by the reasonable design on its own scale, but also by the interaction of the urban-scaled landscape system. Virtually, the planning and layout of the urban landscape system represent the reasonable position of various projects in the overall landscape structure. The current paper, combined with the landscape ecology theory, put forward the idea primarily determining the distribution of single landscape projects through the priority of single project location, as well as the selection of ecological strategic points. In considering the distribution mode and landscape index, the overall layout of urban landscape system can be adjusted and optimized by consulting the landscape connectivity index, PX, and the nearest neighbor index, NNI. This planning idea is in favor of sustaining and strengthening the continuity of the whole landscape pattern, and maintaining the general ecological security of urban system.

Abstract In the present study we performed a comparative dietary analysis of two predatory birds, the Long-eared Owl (Asio otus) and the Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) in the district of Lviv city. We found that the Long-eared Owl and the Common Kestrel are typical small mammal specialists within the urban ecosystem. Considering the abundance and biomass of prey, small mammals comprise 98.4% of the Long-eared Owl’s diet. The species composition of mammals coincides almost 50% in the food intake comparison of the two birds. It has been established that the main prey of both species is the Common Vole (Microtus arvalis). The diet of the Common Kestrel is more varied, compared to the Long-eared Owl, due to the consumption of different species of insects (families Gryllotalpidae, Tettigoniidae, Carabidae and Scarabaeidae), reptiles and birds. This result suggested that dietary plasticity of the Common Kestrel facilitate successful adaptation to the urban landscape. The Long-eared Owl is more narrowly specialized in feeding on murine rodents, which reduces the trophic competition between the two predatory birds and allows the coexistence of two predators in the urban ecosystem.

The Given

In this paper, an improved polytomous item relational structure theory based on Q-matrix theory is proposed, using Tatsuoka’s Q-matrix theory, we can construct the test with all efficient items which are fitting in with the given relational structure of cognitive attributes, and then, before the test, using Liu’s before-test item ordering theory, an ideal relational structural graph of itemscan be constructed, and the real efficient items can be obtained accordingly. After testing the students, an after-test structure of items can be estimated by using the Liu’s polytomous item relational structure theory. Furthermore, using Liu’s criterion related validity index, we can evaluate the estimated item relational structure of the test, and the results could be useful for cognitive diagnosis and remedial instruction.

The present study was carried out in the residential colony of the Indian Institute of Forest Management (IIFM) at Bhopal, the capital city of Madhya Pradesh, with the major objective of studying the plant-people interactions in the urban ecosystem. Continuous observations were made round the year on the interactions of people with the plant species for years in order to explore their ethnobotanical uses. IIFM residential colony has an interesting amalgamation of both wild and domestic plant species. A total 78 species were documented during the present study. Of the documented species, the maximum species was used for food and over 29% had medicinal properties hence they were used for treatment of various diseases.
