Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

Made in the shade: Leaf responses of native wildflowers to single‐axis photovoltaic solar energy
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.As solar energy expands globally, balancing renewable power generation with biodiversity and ecosystem health has become an urgent challenge. This study investigated how native wildflowers respond at leaf level to the unique microclimates created by rotating solar panels in California's Central Valley.
