International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Four decades of UTCI data show increasing thermal stress along Ghana's coastal‐urban corridor, with very strong heat‐stress days rising by about 1.4 days/year. Random Forest–SHAP analysis with temporal validation identified AOD as the strongest model‐based predictor of monthly UTCI variability, followed by TSA, WHWP, and AMO.

The London Urban Heat Island – upwind vegetation effects on local temperatures [PDF]
, 2012 Vegetation has the potential to cool the air in contact with it through evaporation of surface and transpirated water. This effect may have significant benefits in reducing the need for mechanical cooling of a building or increase comfort in outdoor ...

White light reduces flight height of birds in low‐density migration corridor
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We conducted an experiment to better understand the effects of artificial light at night treatments of varying spectral power distributions on in‐flight migratory bird behavior as measured by a portable radar. Broad‐spectrum white light emissions reduced avian flight height as compared to dark periods and more than other light treatments.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Urban resilience and ecosystem health are essential foundations for regional sustainable development, yet their coupled and coordinated relationships remain insufficiently explored at the urban‐agglomeration scale. Taking the 13 prefecture‐level cities in the Beijing‐Tianjin‐Hebei urban agglomeration as the study area and using panel data for ...
