Overview

Dave Kendal is a researcher affiliated with the University of Melbourne in Australia, specializing in Environmental Science with a focus on Urban Green Space and Health, Land Use and Ecosystem Services, and Urban Agriculture and Sustainability. Their published work predominantly investigates the intersection of urban environments, biodiversity, and sustainability, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach within environmental research.

Kendal's recent research covers diverse topics related to urban ecosystems. Notable publications include "City-size bias in knowledge on the effects of urban nature on people and biodiversity" (2020, Environmental Research Letters), "Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Urban Development" (2020, Sustainability), and "A global horizon scan of the future impacts of robotics and autonomous systems on urban ecosystems" (2021, Nature Ecology & Evolution). These studies explore how urban nature influences biodiversity and human wellbeing, as well as anticipating technological impacts on urban ecological systems.

Additional papers contributing to the field include "What are the traits of a social-ecological system: towards a framework in support of urban sustainability" (2021, npj Urban Sustainability) and "Patterns of tree removal and canopy change on public and private land in the City of Melbourne" (2020, Sustainable Cities and Society), documenting fundamental processes affecting urban landscapes and their management.

Lending breadth to their research, Kendal engages frequently with coauthors who share expertise in related environmental and ecological studies. Frequent collaborators include Emily J. Flies, Camilo Ordóñez, Melanie Davern, Caragh G. Threlfall, and Penelope Jones.

Their body of work is regularly published in journals such as Sustainability, Landscape and Urban Planning, Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, People and Nature, and the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. These venues highlight the consistent focus on urban ecological health and sustainability.

Kendal's research spans several subfields, including Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis; Global and Planetary Change; Plant Science; Ecology; and Nature and Landscape Conservation. The recurring themes demonstrate an integrated perspective on environmental processes affecting urban environments and their inhabitants.
