The urban heat island : causes and effects
, 2016 The Urban Heat Island Effect has become one of the world’s leading urban environmental issues of this century. Urbanization has increased concerns about the UHIE, especially in terms of human health and a healthy functioning urban environment. The UHIE results in significant and sometimes dramatic increase in air temperature change between the urban ...

The place bonding potential of nature‐based citizen science with refugee children and youth
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Nature‐based citizen science often involves close interaction with places. In addition to providing benefits, such as learning opportunities and contact with nature, it can facilitate and shape bonds between people and places. Research exploring the place bonding potential of such projects is still in its infancy. This paper addresses this gap

Heat Island Effect in Urban Areas
RevCAD Journal of Geodesy and CadastreIn densely built urban environments, microclimate characteristics are critically important in terms of comfort and health conditions for residents (thermal comfort/thermal stress)[1], but also in relation to environmental performance and, implicitly, the energy performance of urban areas. Given the context of climate change, the increasing frequency of

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Nature‐based solutions (NbS) have become central to environmental governance. Yet, their societal legitimacy depends on how they are framed in public discourse. This study investigates how Norwegian media actors construct narratives around NbS, whose voices are amplified, and the extent to which plural and Indigenous epistemologies are ...

A Review of Adaptation Strategies to Increased Urban Temperatures and Heat Island Effect [PDF]
Rising temperatures due to climate change combined with densification of urban centres is exposing cities and their inhabitants to urban heat island (UHI) effect.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Peri‐urban areas in West Africa are expanding rapidly, often with limited planning and growing exposure to climate risks. Our study shows that agroforestry systems in these landscapes, especially diverse home gardens, can store substantial amounts of carbon when they include structurally complex stands and species with traits that favor biomass ...

Analysis of the micro Urban Heat Island effect
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesAbstract. Urban areas worldwide are experiencing increase in temperatures due to urbanisation and, leading to the effect of Urban Heat Islands (UHIs), which threaten urban sustainability. Global research aims to identify UHIs and develop mitigation measures.

An urban evolved invasive plant tolerates experimental climate change
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Urbanization may drive invasive species evolution, resulting in greater invasion risks as global conditions change. We compared urban populations of the invasive Erigeron annuus in Zagreb, Croatia, to surrounding rural populations and found that urban‐evolved populations were more tolerant of experimental warming and drought than rural populations ...
