Abstract

In this chapter, we present a model of human-nature interactions based on the consideration that nature benefits well-being, neurophysiological underpinned by modulation of the limbic-prefrontal circuits for emotion regulation. Such benefits depend on different factors and can be analysed at different levels: individual characteristics, type, duration and frequency of nature contact and benefits one wishes to obtain. Environmental sensitivity, potentially partially genetically determined, could play a role in harnessing nature benefits. We then provide some examples of practical applications of our model and considerations on areas in need of further research and evaluation in applied settings.
