研究表明，住宅庭院可以为城市鸟类、传粉者和其他野生动物提供重要的栖息地。此外，管理传统草坪、节水庭院、原生植物和其他景观类型的动机和制约因素也得到了很好的理解。然而，相对较少的研究涉及人们决定采用支持野生动物的院子。通过分析美国六个城市的调查数据，我们提出了三个相关的问题：1)居民在多大程度上选择支持野生动物栖息地的庭院特征？2)庭院优先级和邻里治理以及社会人口因素如何解释采用野生动物支持特征？3)已经采用支持野生动物庭院特征的居民与计划采用这些特征的居民和不打算采用这些特征的居民的动机有何不同？我们发现增加植被（特别是灌木和原生植物）和其他野生动物支持特征的潜力很大，可以增加庭院的复杂性和植被多样性。虽然园艺作为一种爱好是人们采用野生动物庭院特征的重要动力，但对低维护庭院的渴望对非采用者来说是一种限制。因此，我们建议促进种植低维护的植物物种或品种，这些植物提供野生动物栖息地，但不需要太多的维护，特别是那些希望将来吸引野生动物到他们的院子里的居民。我们还发现，社区和房主协会增加了当地对野生动物支持庭院的采用。结合其他研究结果，我们的研究结果强调了根据不同生活方式定制住宅景观特征的重要性，同时利用社会机构在城市和郊区社区扩大野生动物栖息地。
Research has demonstrated that residential yards can provide important habitat for urban birds, pollinators, and other wildlife. In addition, the motivations and constraints underlying decisions to manage traditional lawns, water-conserving yards, native plants, and other landscape types are well understood. Yet relatively little research has addressed people’s decisions to adopt wildlife-supporting yards. Analyzing survey data from six U.S. cities, we address three related questions: 1) to what extent do residents choose yard features that support wildlife habitat?; 2) how do yard priorities and neighborhood governance, along with socio-demographic factors, explain the adoption of wildlife-supporting features?; and 3) how do residents who have already adopted wildlife-supporting yard features differ in their motivations from those who plan to adopt such features and those who do not? We found significant potential for adding vegetation (specifically shrubs and native plants) and other wildlife-supporting features to increase yard complexity and vegetation diversity. While gardening as a hobby was a significant motivator for people who have adopted wildlife yard features, the desire for low-maintenance yards is a constraint among non-adopters. We therefore recommend promoting the planting of low-maintenance plant species or varieties that provide wildlife habitat but require little upkeep, especially among residents who would like to attract wildlife to their yards into the future. We also found that neighbourhood and homeowner associations increase the local adoption of wildlife-supporting yards. Coupled with other findings, our results underscore the importance of tailoring residential landscape features to diverse lifestyles while leveraging social institutions to expand wildlife habitat across urban and suburban neighborhoods.
