Abstract
This study investigates the effects of rapid urbanization on plant biodiversity within tropical ecosystems. Utilizing satellite imagery and field surveys, we assess the changes in species composition and richness across urban, peri-urban, and rural areas over the past two decades. Our findings indicate a significant decline in native species and an increase in invasive species in urbanized zones, highlighting the need for conservation strategies that integrate urban planning with biodiversity management.
