摘要

Landform diversity has been identified as one means to support biodiversity in the face of rising temperatures. The aim of this research is to show methods forresearchers to measure the capability of urban landscapes in safeguardingfauna against the impacts of rising temperatures. A case study of Wellington, New Zealand, shows that 1276 ha of the landscape under study consist of south-facing slopescapable of supporting fauna that are historically adapted to the cool climatic conditions. Approximately 425 ha of this area have an overlap with indigenous land cover classes that are believed to be primary habitats for fauna.地形多样性目前已成为气候变暖条件下保障生物多样性的手段。本研究旨在为研究者提供几种方法，测量城市景观抵御气候变暖的能力。在新西兰威灵顿开展的个案研究考查范围达到1276顷土地，这片南向坡地上生活的动物群长期以来适应了凉爽的气候条件。其中约425顷土地有各种乡土植物覆盖，这些植物对于动物群的栖息至关重要。KEYWORDS: Landform diversity, land cover, urban biodiversity, rising temperatures, Wellington, New ZealandAdditional informationDisclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
