Taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional composition and homogenization of residential yard vegetation with contrasting management

Urban biotic homogenization is expected to be especially important in residential yards, where similar human preferences and management practices across environmentally heterogeneous regions might lead to the selection of similar plant species, …

Homogenization of plant diversity, composition, and structure in North American urban yards

Urban ecosystems are widely hypothesized to be more ecologically homogeneous than natural ecosystems. We argue that urban plant communities assemble from a complex mix of horticultural and regional species pools, and evaluate the homogenization …
