      Out of the total 137 publications, more than 80% of the total publications fall under the research areas of environmental sciences (88), agriculture and biological sciences (52), social sciences (36), earth and planetary sciences (18), and engineering (14) (Figure 1.1b). This signified that the interdisciplinary researches are increasing on the topic and focus on environmental impact assessment is given optimal importance. Author‐wise analysis results revealed Wu J., Dunn R.R., Richter M., Weiland U., and Alavipanah S. as the five most productive authors publishing 4, 3, 3, 3, and 2 papers during the last two decades on the topic (Table 1.1). Landscape and Urban Planning (7), Urban Ecosystems (6), Sustainability (5), Ecosystems (3), and Urban Forestry and Urban Greening (3) were observed as the major sources which published researches on the topic in the recent decades (Table 1.1). These journals have been started with the aim of managing and improving the health and sustainability of the urban ecosystem. Among 137 papers, 73% were research articles whereas 9.5, 5.8, 5.1, and 4.4% were contributed by conference papers, review articles, books, and book chapters, respectively (Figure 1.1c). This signifies that the topic is getting considerable attention in different research publication types. Among 137 papers obtained for the search query, relevant articles were manually selected after going through the article in detail. Both original research and review articles written in the English language were considered for this purpose.

1.5 Emerging Features of Urban Ecology for Mitigating Climate Change

      Urban ecosystems around the world are facing several major challenges among which increasing human population and climate change are the most prominent, making the sustainable urban development an elusive phenomenon (Childers et al. 2015). An increase in the frequency of extreme weather events induced by the climate change scenario СКАЧАТЬ
