“…自然形象指"指导和构建感知与欣赏自然的框架" [45] ，是在个人经验的基础上形成的对自然的理解，包括对自然的认识、反映和表述等。一方面，城市荒野由自然主导的特质会引起"矛盾的感知"。在城市环境中，一个人可能视荒野绿地为避风港和喜爱的地方，而对另一个人来说，则可能是充满不安全感和负面影响的区域 [46] 。甚至对于同一群体，当面对野生的城市森林时，他们既能感受到大自然带来的幸福感，又能感知到城市森林的 "混乱"和"不可预测"所带来的负面情绪 [47] 。另一方面，个体的成长环境、接触城市荒野的频率、价值观和文化背景等也会影响对城市荒野自然形象的理解和认知 [48][49][50] 。部分居民通过城市荒野联想到童年时在乡村的生活，从而增强了对城市荒野的接受和认同 [48] ；农村居民由于接触荒野较多，他们会将伐木和放牧的地方视为生活和生产区域，而这类区域往往被城市居民视为荒野 [49] ；一些人支持…”

“…These plants can rapidly respond to disturbances, making them effective indicators for the urbanization process (Chen et al, 2014). In recent years, urban spontaneous plants have gained increasing attention as the optimal material and life landmark for enhancing resilience and sustainable of native plant community (Chang et al, 2022;Chen et al, 2021;Hu et al, 2021;Hu et al, 2022;Li et al, 2019). To help elucidate the mechanisms of species dispersal, we use urban spontaneous plants as a model species group, as they integrate urbanization characteristics and climatic factors in urban ecosystems.…”

Spontaneous plants are crucial components of urban biodiversity. The distribution of spontaneous plants can be profoundly affected by their seed dispersal mode and environmental factors in urban systems. Since a comprehensive investigation into the drivers of successful seed dispersal modes of spontaneous plants is still lacking, we explored the impacts of natural factors, dispersal limitation, and habitat quality factors on the diversity pattern of spontaneous plants. We assessed the diversity patterns of four seed dispersal modes in 16 major cities in Yunnan province, the most biodiverse province in China. A total of 1,744 spontaneous plants of 916 genera and 175 families were recorded in 893 green patches. The dominating seed dispersal mode of urban spontaneous plants in most cities (13 out of 16) was autochory (33.5–38.7%), with hydrochory being least frequent (4.3–10.9%). Our research highlights spontaneous plants in heavily disturbed anthropogenic ecosystems, such as urban areas, tend to adopt convergent strategies to address environmental stressors. Their richness was significantly higher in colder and humid climates. However, as dispersal limitations (measured by distance to city boundary, city size and urbanization rate) increased and decrease in habitat quality (as expressed by patch area), the richness of all dispersal modes experienced a reduction. However, the sensitivities among different dispersal modes to these factors are divergent. Hydrochory exhibited the strongest sensitivity to habitat quality and climate factors. Whereas autochory demonstrated a strongest sensitivity, and anemochory showed a weakest sensitivity to dispersal limitation. These results suggest that include improving habitat quality or creating green corridors to mitigate dispersal limitation between urban areas and surrounding mountains will be valuable additions to urban biodiversity conservation efforts.

“…An example of significant differences, that may be due to cultural backgrounds, might be the preference of Berlin residents for wild grasslands [20] compared to Singapore resident's preference for lawns [21]. The presence of spontaneous plant species (and ruderal, also wilder areas than standardly tended urban greenery) itself is often met with acceptance [20,[22][23][24], sometimes under some conditions [21,25,26], or a lack of acceptance, prevailing for example in Latin American societies [27] or in legacy cities [28].…”

Synanthropic flora (weeds, spontaneously developed plants) are plants that accompany humans, appearing as a result of anthropopressure as well as after its cessation. The potential of synanthropic flora in shaping green areas usually brings many measurable benefits that depend on land management in cities. The study aimed to determine the preferences and attitudes of adults towards synanthropic flora in settlement units. The article presents survey results from 447 city residents. The obtained results were statistically analyzed using the k-means clustering method to identify segments of respondents with similar attitudes and preferences toward synanthropic flora. Mann-Whitney U tests were employed to determine statistical differences in the demographic variables among the analyzed clusters of respondents. Additionally, multiple regression analysis was performed to identify the opinions and attitudes towards synanthropic flora, that may influence their greater acceptance in the vicinity of residential areas. The results obtained in multiple regression allow for the statement that the respondent’s evaluation of the level of support for the introduction of more synanthropic vegetation into urban greenery (Yw) grows with the increase of acceptance of synanthropic plants occurrence in surroundings. Respondents’ opinions on the subject of the presence of synanthropic plants were studied using such variables concerning: synanthropic vegetation found in turfgrasses has a positive impact on the visual attractiveness of a site (X1), synanthropic plant communities present themselves better than others (X2), presence of synanthropic vegetation in an estate improves the quality of life in that location (X3), introduction of synanthropic flora into estate arrangements is a positive (X4), support for the use of synanthropic flora for educational purposes - as elements of playgrounds or in the form of environmental workshops (X5). Residents’ acceptance of synanthropic flora in green areas is at a relatively high level.
