Urban Heat Island and street trees

, 2023
Computer simulation was used to test the impact of removing the existing Fig trees and implementing UHI mitigation strategies to enhance the microclimate performance. The computer simulations were based on ENVI-met simulation tool V5.5 Summer23.

Spatiotemporal Interactions of Land Use Change, Land Surface Temperature, and Vegetation Dynamics in China's Caohai National Nature Reserve

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use change (LUC), land surface temperature (LST), and vegetation indices is critical for assessing ecological changes and informing sustainable land management. This study investigates the long‐term interrelationships between LUC, LST, and vegetation indices in China's Caohai National Nature ...

Modelling the urban heat island intensities of alternative urban growth management policies in Brisbane [PDF]

, 2017
When urban areas experience higher temperature than their surrounding rural areas, this phenomenon is called the urban heat island (UHI) effect. UHI contributes to global warming.

Air quality and heat-related health impacts of increasing urban greenery cover

, 2022
Green spaces and vegetation cover offer various environmental benefits, including air quality improvements and mitigation of the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Several UHI mitigation policies promoted over the last years in the Greater Toronto Area have

New Insights About the Role of Sn‐Rich and Pb‐Rich Phases Over the Corrosion Mechanism of Low‐Tin Quaternary Bronze Alloys Under Sulfur‐Containing Conditions

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
A mechanistic proposal for the initial steps of quaternary bronze corrosion in media containing sulfate was described. The process is driven by microgalvanic effects along the microstructure, generating anodic sites over lead and tin rich phases and cathodic sites onto Cu‐rich phases.

Impact of Urbanization on Global and Regional Humid Heat and Population Humid Heat Exposure [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Extreme heat events pose great threats to public health and socioeconomic development, particularly in cities where the urban heat island (UHI) effect can exacerbate heat stress.

Rearrangement Towards Stability: Plastic Shakedown in Granular Materials Under Thermal Cycles

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Granular materials are routinely subjected to thermal cycling due to natural and anthropogenic phenomena. Despite the ubiquity of this occurrence and its relevance for science, engineering, and technology, the long‐term thermo‐mechanical response of granular materials to repeated heating and cooling remains poorly understood.

Urban heat island in the subsurface

Geophysical Research Letters, 2007
The urban heat island effect has received significant attention in recent years due to the possible effect on long‐term meteorological records. Recent studies of this phenomenon have suggested that this may not be important to estimates of regional climate change once data are properly corrected.

Home and away: allometry and climate drive morphology of European rabbits in their native and introduced range

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climatic conditions shape phenotypic evolution by driving adaptations that optimise organismal function. Invasive species provide valuable systems to study these processes, as they often encounter novel climatic conditions in their introduced ranges. The European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, native to the Iberian Peninsula, has established populations

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.
