Description: Many studies report on the ability of natural environments and accessible green and blue spaces in the cities to diminish climate change impacts and lower the possibility of disasters. However, that is not the full extent of their effects. Among others, these urban spaces enhanced with nature-based solutions (NBS) can support active recreation and allow places for relaxation and consolidation from daily stress. There is some evidence that NBS with their extensive greenery can give the positive impact on numerous psychological and physiological outcomes. Urban areas rich in greenery and biodiversity provide great opportunity for humans to come closer to nature and improve their health and well-being through interaction with a variety of flora and fauna species. Specifically, there is evidence that mental health (anxiety, stress levels) and psychological wellbeing may benefit from plant species richness (Fuller et al., 2007), animal species richness (Dallimer et al., 2012) and soil biodiversity (Wall et al., 2015). Furthermore, it has been shown that soil organisms, through their roles in controlling soil-borne pathogens and pests (soil vitality) lessen the prevalence of allergic diseases (Wall et al. 2015). Replacing or restoring the soil, regulation of water conditions, enabling plant species diversity - especially native ones, can substantially increase soil biodiversity leading to recovery of the natural soil food web, so the pathogen risk would be minimized with respect to communicable and non-communicable diseases (Crump et al., 2021). However, urban green spaces can also be linked to negative health outcomes, such as allergic reactions, or vectorborne diseases, as the result of increased exposure to allergenic pollen or increased amount of disease vectors in urban green environments (Calaza‐Martinez and Iglesias‐Díaz, 2016). These potential harmful effects may be addressed through the adequate design, maintenance and management of urban green spaces and selection of species. Although different studies show ...
