Urbanization level and its effect on the structure and function of homegarden (pekarangan) vegetation in West Java, Indonesia

Urban Farm DB summary

This study finds that increasing urbanisation across West Java significantly reduces the area, species diversity, and ecological functions of traditional pekarangan homegardens, threatening both biodiversity and the cultural practice of subsistence home gardening. Sites across Bogor District, Bogor City, and Cianjur District were compared along an urban–rural gradient.
