Abstract

This study investigates the effects of urban development on the diversity and distribution of native plant species in tropical ecosystems. Focusing on a comparative analysis of urban, suburban, and rural areas across Southeast Asia, the research employs field surveys and remote sensing techniques to assess changes in species richness and composition. The findings reveal a significant decline in native species diversity in urban areas, with invasive species proliferation contributing to ecological imbalance. The study underscores the importance of integrating green spaces in urban planning to preserve biodiversity and maintain ecological functions.
