À propos de cet audio
We know that green spaces are good for you. They provide benefits to air quality, biodiversity, and even your mental health... but why?
Returning guest Joeri Morpurgo, a postdoctoral fellow at Universiteit Leiden in the Netherlands, set out with his team to answer this question. They found an important distinction: not all green spaces are created equal.
The team also investigated the various benefits of green space, and found natural variables to attribute them to: lower air temperatures were directly related to tree heights, soil quality promotes water storage, and so on. Every green space has unique characteristics that give it unique, nuanced benefits. In this episode, Joeri joins hosts Alysha and Todd to talk about why distinction between outdoor spaces is so important.
Joeri's Haiku:
Lush green fill the streets
Yet life and function diverge
Features shape what they give
