The city is the perfect place to study nature and how humans affect it, says Johan Kjellberg Jensen. In a new dissertation from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC) at Lund University, he explores the interaction between plants, animals, and humans in the physical environment of cities. Many of us associate 'nature' with something we go to the countryside to experience. But natu
