Street trees reduce the negative effects of urbanization on birds
Fig 4
Patterns obtained in the multivariate models assessing the effects of the exposure to noise (Average Equivalent Continuous Sound Level—Leq) and urban vegetation variables on the taxonomic data and functional diversity indices of the bird community inhabiting the streets of Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais, Brazil).
Tnative: proportion of the abundance of native street tree species; Trich: street tree species richness; Tcanopy: average diameter of street trees canopy; Distparks: average distance to parks.
