Study: Our Desire to Be in Nature and How We Experience It are Partially Heritable biology genetics science
examined the extent to which genetic versus environmental influences explain individual variation in nature orientation, the level of urbanization of home location, and four dimensions of nature experience: frequency and duration of public nature space visits and frequency and duration of domestic garden visits.
“Despite the importance of understanding what determines individual variation in nature experience, the role of genes has been overlooked.” Heritability ranged from 46% for nature orientation to 34% for frequency of garden visits, suggesting a moderate influence of genetics over how people experience nature.People living in urban environments tended to have less nature experiences, due to for example limited access to gardens, highlighting the importance of availability in shaping nature-seeking behaviors.
