The main objectives of this project are:
1) Link research on spatial design and urban biodiversity;
2) Raise greater public awareness of biodiversity in urban areas;
3) Promote interdisciplinary research into urban biodiversity for a
better understanding of the interactions between humans, urban
biodiversity and global biodiversity
4) Establish a connection mechanism between researchers, planners,
policy makers and citizens to improve the integration of research
findings into urban design;
5) Promote education in urban biodiversity and design.

Abstract of goals:
-Urban space vegetation structure and woody plant species analyse at selected town settlements,
-Recreational potential of urban green spaces at selected town settlements,
-Environmental impact on town settlements and on urban vegetation elements,
-Assessment of urban impact on woody vegetation by using of ecology-physiological markers (accumulation of alochtonous elements in leaves, leaf chlorophyll fluorescence),
-Urban soil property changes,
-Pest and disease impact on woody urban vegetation.
Abstract of achieved outcomes:
The dominant park and seminatural components in Nitra are City park(20ha, 47 woody species) Borina(10 ha, seminatural biotope), Castle hill (8 ha, seminatural biotope), Calvary (8 ha, forest-steppe). In housing estates Chrenová and Klokocina, thepark areas achieved 25-35m-2.hab.-1. Woody plant diversity is rather high, the 50 species, from those 30% alien, 10 speciesas invasive. Nitra city has medium immission impact but highest in traffic streets and crossings. It causes above limit accumulation of alochtonous elements in 8 woody species leaves, especially Ca,Mg,Na,K,Cu,Pb,Cl,NO3,SO4. Investigatedleaf chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (Fv/Fm) decreased under limit of physiological defect (limit=0,725). At city greenareas (park, housing estates) in urban soils was identified above limit compaction in bulk density (limit=1,7g.cm-3), moistureand nutrient deficiency, immission load and pH changes. At woody species of 15 region towns (NSK) were identified 327 insect pests as reflection of vitality decreasing.
Within thre years research period, the 89 different category
publications were issued by research participants together, as papers
and contributions in scientific journals and proccedings.
From those 8 papers were published in international scientific journals registered in Web of Science and SCOPUS database.
