A more detailed understanding of the micro-climatic thermal benefits of different urban tree
species and the retrospective species characteristics is necessary to guide management …

Urban green space is purported to offset greenhouse‐gas (GHG) emissions, remove air and
water pollutants, cool local climate, and improve public health. To use these services …

Climate change exposes vegetation to unusual drought, causing declines in productivity and
increased mortality. Drought responses are hard to anticipate because canopy transpiration …

The potential of urban greenspaces in regulating temperature is widely known; however, in
the heterogeneous urban landscape the process and the magnitude of human thermal …

The expansion of an urban tree canopy is a commonly proposed nature-based solution to
combat excess urban heat. The influence trees have on urban climates via shading is driven …

Despite its importance for urban planning, landscape management, and water management,
there are very few in situ estimates of urban‐forest transpiration. Because urban forests …

Moderation of thermal energy balance through the canopies of urban trees is well known.
However, a more functional and quantitative view of the heterogeneous urban environment …

Angiosperm and coniferous tree species utilize a continuum of hydraulic strategies.
Hydraulic safety margins (defined as differences between naturally occurring xylem …

Urban trees are getting increasing attention as a tool to mitigate urban heat island effects. A
more functional and quantitative view of transpirational and shading effect, particularly the …

Sherwin Carlquist was aware that wood represents a compromise between transport
efficiency and safety. He considered wide vessels to be more vulnerable to drought-induced …
