Previousstudies on the cooling of urban vegetation mainly focused on its transpiration or
shading effect separately, neglecting to explore the combined evapotranspiration-shading …

Tree planting is a prevalent strategy to mitigate urban heat. Tree cooling efficiency (TCE),
defined as the temperature reduction for a 1% tree cover increase, plays an important role in …

Urban tree planting is an effective strategy to reduce temperature locally and eventually
mitigate Urban Heat Island. Although its cooling effects have been widely reported …

The proposed study investigates the effect of urban heat island mitigation scenarios by
applying extensive green roofs, green façades, and living walls to two built areas within …

Rising demand for space cooling has been placing enormous strain on various
technological, environmental, and societal dimensions, resulting in issues related to energy …

The ascent of water from the soil to the leaves of vascular plants, described by the study of
plant hydraulics, regulates ecosystem responses to environmental forcing and recovery from …

Abstract The World Meteorological Organization considers a heatwave as “a period of
statistically unusual hot weather persisting for a number of days and nights”. Accompanying …

The contributions of urban morphology (UM) and their key thresholds to urban heat island
(UHI) intensity during heatwave events lack clarity. In response to this problem, the impacts …

The urban heat island effect poses a growing threat to human society, especially in densely
populated and developed megacities. With the introduction of the Local Climate Zones …

Urban planners and other stakeholders often view trees as the ultimate panacea for
mitigating urban heat stress; however, their cooling efficacy varies globally and is influenced …
