Urban plant diversity
PI:
Urban landscapes such as Bengaluru city are heavily human-dominated but with good green cover in public spaces. Plant diversity and the dependent animal communities are largely modified structurally in tune to human use of the landscapes. Plant diversity of Bengaluru are largely introduced and the city is dominated by lifeform such as trees. We work with diverse stakeholders of the city landscape in improving the green cover. Corporate campuses, parks and lakes are the public spaces where we engage diverse stakeholders in improving the green cover.
