A new study from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology highlights specific features of urban green spaces that support the greatest diversity of bird species. The findings were published in the journal Landscape and Urban Planning.

Essentially, the more green space available, the greater the diversity of birds. Models show that Increasing the area of green space by 50% would lead to an 11.5% increase in annual species diversity.

Trees are also important, especially for migratory species during spring when models show a 50% increase in canopy cover would result in a 23.3% increase in species diversity.
