L’espace vert public, lieu d’interactions entre société et biodiversité

Abstract

The aims of this paper are to study the impact of users’ practices on plant communities of public green spaces on the one hand, and help developing a model explaining the use of public green areas in relation to users’ practices and representations, on the other hand.
