Department Name: Landscape Architecture

Abstract

"I am interested in learning more on ecosystem services provided by plants in urban areas. This includes:
-the mitigating effects of vegetation on heat wave events
-the contribution of urban green in pollutants removal
-the interactions between green spaces and human well being
-ecological dynamics between native and non-native species in the urban context"

Title A Stress Recovery Experiment Using 360-degree Videos of an Urban Woodland, 2021 
Description This data was collected as part of an online experiment. A sample of participants (n = 372) was mildly stressed and then recovered by watching a 360-degree video from a woodland, randomly assigned from 4 different conditions. Each condition showed the same woodland setting, but at different levels of biodiversity. The data includes Affective States scores (Positive Affect and Negative Affect) measured from the same participant at three points in time. Further, it includes Demographic information (gender, age and ethnicity), Nature connectedness, and a self-reported measure of the time spent outdoors by the participants during their childhood. Subjective perceptions of biodiversity (i.e. how biodiverse the participant thought the video to be) were also measured.
