TL;DR: It is suggested that diversification of urban greenspace by planting urban meadows in place of some mown amenity grassland is likely to generate substantial biodiversity benefits, with a mosaic of meadow types likely to maximize such benefits.

Air pollution and its effects on lichens, bryophytes, and lichen‐feeding Lepidoptera: review and evidence from biological records
TL;DR: Using data from the volunteer-based National Moth Recording Scheme, this work provides the first evidence for an indirect association between reductions in air pollution and increases in lichenivorous moths.
