Using smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment, this study investigated an association between natural diversity on mental wellbeing. A sample of 1,998 participants completed 41,448 assessments between April 2018 and September 2023. Environments which included a larger range of natural features, such as trees, plants and birdlife (high natural diversity) were associated with greater mental wellbeing than environments including a smaller range of natural features (low natural diversity). There was evidence of a mediating effect of natural diversity on the association between natural environments and mental wellbeing. These results highlight the importance of policies and practices that support richness of biodiversity for public mental health.
利用基于智能手机的生态瞬间评估，本研究调查了自然多样性与心理健康之间的关联。在 2018 年 4 月至 2023 年 9 月期间，有 1998 名参与者完成了 41448 次评估。包含更多自然特征（如树木、植物和鸟类）的环境（高自然多样性）与包含较少自然特征的环境（低自然多样性）相比，与更高的心理健康水平相关。有证据表明，自然多样性对自然环境与心理健康之间的关联存在中介效应。这些结果强调了支持生物多样性丰富度的政策和实践对于公共心理健康的重要性。
