Identifying research progress, focuses, and prospects of local climate zone (LCZ) using bibliometrics and critical reviews [PDF]

Heliyon, 2023
The local climate zone (LCZ) has been an important land surface classification used to differentiate urban climate between localities. The general knowledge maps of LCZ studies are needed when LCZ-related research has attracted great attention.
