Although urban matrix is important for maintailing biodiversity, there are few studies which assessed the relationship between animals and environmental factors of individual gardens in Japan. In this study, we analyzed the data of nationwide web-based citizen science project to survey the selected 20 common animal species or groups and also the relationship between organisms and environmental factors in and around individual gardens. As the results, number of species observed in gardens increased significantly with area of gardens. It is also revealed that some species, such as barn swallow and great tit, has significant relationship with some environmental factors of gardens. It is concluded that the individual garden plays important roles as a reservoir of species as well as maintaining biodiversity.
