Abstract

Abstract: Biotic homogenization has been predicted to occur in cities across the world. However, the empirical evidence has been less than convincing. Lososová et al. explore the middle ground between these two points of view in this issue of Journal of Vegetation Science . They take a more sophisticated approach, linking homogenization to bigger questions of vegetation assembly in urban environments.
