This book focuses on summarizing the effects of greenspace exposures on human health in China. It also discusses the new methodologies assessing greenspace exposure and new methods exploring potential mechanisms underlying them. In particular, it takes into account trends in the types of studies and measurement of variables over time, as well as sources of geographical heterogeneity given uneven development across the Chinas vast terrain. This book aims at providing researchers, health professionals, and policy makers a cutting-edge and comprehensive summary of researches on greenness and human health.
