Publikation Nr. 3459 - Details Lindemann-Matthies, P. & Matthies, D. (2018). The influence of plant species richness on stress recovery of humans, Web Ecology, 18, 121-128. DOI: doi.org/10.5194/we-18-121-2018 Abstract Natural sceneries or single plants may have positive influences on human health. Here we show that plant species richness can positively influence recovery from stress. Meadow-like arrays of different species richness (1, 16, 32, 64 species) were presented to visitors (n D 171) of a popular park in Zurich, Switzerland (one array per participant). Participants’ systolic blood pressure was measured twice: directly after they had been stressed and once again after a 2 min post-stress rela Attribute
