Trees tolerate an extreme heatwave via sustained transpirational cooling and increased leaf thermal tolerance

Global Change Biology, 2018
AbstractHeatwaves are likely to increase in frequency and intensity with climate change, which may impair tree function and forest C uptake. However, we have little information regarding the impact of extreme heatwaves on the physiological performance of large trees in the field.

Numerical and Experimental Study of Fan and Pad Evaporative Cooling System in a Greenhouse with Tomato Crop [PDF]

, 2008
An experimental greenhouse equipped with fan and pad evaporative cooling is simulated numerically using a commercial CFD code. The main aspects of evaporative cooling systems, in terms of heat and mass transfer and both the external and internal climatic

Development of indirect evaporative cooler based on a finned heat pipe with a natural-fiber cooling pad

Heliyon, 2022
Evaporative cooler is one of the methods that have been used to keep buildings at a comfortable temperature since ancient times. This type of cooler is particularly suitable for hot and arid areas.

Tree crown geometry and its performances on human thermal comfort adjustment

Journal of Urban Management, 2021
Trees play an important part in landscaping as well as thermal environment adjustment. This study selected a satellite city of Sichuan Province in China, Xindu, for field measurement about tree’s crown characteristics on their cooling performances on ...

Urban vegetation cooling potential during heatwaves depends on background climate

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
The capacity of vegetation to mitigate excessive urban heat has been well documented. However, the cooling potential provided by urban vegetation during heatwaves is less known even though heatwaves have been projected to be more severe with climate ...

Nonlinear Cooling Effect of Street Green Space Morphology: Evidence from a Gradient Boosting Decision Tree and Explainable Machine Learning Approach

Land, 2022
Mitigation of the heat island effect is critical due to the frequency of extremely hot weather. Urban street greening can achieve this mitigation and improve the quality of urban spaces and people’s welfare.

Circadian rhythms of dragon tree leaf temperature and the amount of dew falling on them

Hortus Botanicus, 2022
Comparison of circadian rhythms of plant leaf temperature and dew point makes it possible to identify time intervals of dew falls. Using the dragon tree (Dracaena draco L.) as an example, it was shown that under arid conditions a CAM plant is able to ...

Leaf cooling curves: measuring leaf temperature in sunlight

Functional Plant Biology, 2006
Despite the obvious benefits of using thermography under field conditions, most infrared studies at the leaf level are generally conducted in the laboratory. One reason for this bias is that accuracy can potentially be compromised in sunlight because reflected radiation from the leaf might affect the calculation of the temperature measurement.

Relative importance of transpiration rate and leaf morphological traits for the regulation of leaf temperature [PDF]

, 2016
Urban greening solutions such as green roofs help improve residents’ thermal comfort and building insulation. However, not all plants provide the same level of cooling.
