The severity of urban heat islands (UHIs) is increasing due to global and urban climate
change. The damage caused by UHIs is also increasing. To establish a plan to improve the …

The elevated air temperature of a city, urban heat island (UHI), increases the heat and
pollution-related mortality, reduces the habitats' comfort and elevates the mean and peak …

Increasing awareness of the urban heat island (UHI) effect has raised attention about the
outdoor thermal comfort in cities worldwide. Several studies in the last decades have …

Interpreting the similarities and dissimilarities in spatiotemporal variations and various
controls between surface and canopy urban heat islands (UHIs) is critical for a better …

The collection of research conducted over the past decade on urban heat islands and its
mitigation strategies reflects the new approaches of scientists, researchers, and government …

This study presents numerical simulations analysing the effect of urban heat island (UHI)
mitigation measures on the chemical composition of the urban atmosphere. The mesoscale …

While the biogeophysical effects of deforestation on average and extreme temperatures are
broadly documented, how deforestation influences temperature variability remains largely …

Urbanisation can affect mating opportunities and thereby alter inter‐and intra‐sexual
selection pressures on sexual traits. Biotic and abiotic urban conditions can influence an …

Abstract Estimates indicate that by 2050, 70% of the world's population will live in urban
areas, expanding the total built-up space and density of those areas. The urban heat island …

Numerous animal species can survive in human-modified habitats, but often display
behavioral, morphological, physiological or genetic plasticity compared to non-urban …
