Abstract
This study investigates the effects of urban expansion on native plant species within metropolitan ecosystems. Utilizing satellite imagery and field surveys, the research examines biodiversity changes and habitat fragmentation in three major cities: São Paulo, Johannesburg, and Bangkok. Results indicate a decline in native species richness and an increase in invasive species proliferation, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable urban planning to conserve ecological balance. The study provides insights into the role of green spaces and urban reforestation in mitigating biodiversity loss.
