Evidence of heat mitigation through green infrastructure has been extensively documented
and quantified in the literature; however, the effectiveness of implementing these strategies …

Urban land cover types influence the urban microclimates. However, recent work indicates
the magnitude of land cover's microclimate influence is affected by aridity. Moreover, this …

Urban populations face increasing heat stress in cities. However, the influence of the built
environment of new and old urban blocks on pedestrian thermal comfort remains unclear …

Green infrastructure (GI) has emerged as a feasible strategy for promoting adaptive
capacities of cities to climate change by alleviating urban heat island (UHI) and thus heat …

Urban forests can mitigate urban heat effectively during hot summer days. Their cooling
effects are largely determined by the plant canopy structure, which can be classified into …

Growth conditions at urban street-tree sites are unfavorable and tree vitality is increasingly
threatened by water scarcity due to changing climate. Developing adaption and …

Crown shapes of common European urban tree species differ from tree species to tree
species and are modified by the age of a tree and its local environment. A tree's crown …

Global warming affects both summer and winter temperatures, altering the ecological and
social dynamics of urban green spaces not only during the summer months but also during …

The urban heat island (UHI) is a critical issue in most urbanised areas. Spatial variation of
urban air temperature and humidity influences human thermal comfort, the settling rate of …

Droughts are the most expensive climate disasters as they leave long-term and chronic
impacts on the ecosystem, agriculture, and human society. The intensity, frequency, and …
