Abstract
Urbanization has led to significant habitat loss for pollinators, which are crucial for ecosystem services. This study investigates the role of urban green spaces in supporting pollinator diversity within metropolitan regions. By analyzing data from 120 green spaces of varying sizes and plant compositions across four major cities, we assessed the abundance and diversity of pollinator species. Our findings indicate a positive correlation between plant diversity in urban green spaces and pollinator diversity. Larger green spaces with native plant species showed higher diversity indices, suggesting that urban planning should consider these factors to enhance urban biodiversity and ecosystem services.
