Analysis of Spontaneous Plant Species in an Urban Green Space in Southern Spain

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a detailed floristic inventory of the spontaneous flora in La Asomadilla urban park in Córdoba, southern Spain. In addition to being the largest urban park in the city, La Asomadilla is characterized by irregular terrain, a transitional location between the Guadalquivir river plain and Sierra Morena mountains, and the ...

Quantifying the urban heat island (UHI) intensity in Hong Kong

, 2012
The definition and quantification of urban heat island (UHI), the air temperature differences between urban and rural areas, remains problematic. This is due, in large part, to the difficulty of operationalizing the terms “urban” and “rural”, especially with regard to classifying the weather stations that provide data.

Observation Experiments and Analysis of Summer Urban Heat Island in Cold Region Based on Low-Altitude Dual-Source Remote Sensing: A Case Study of Zhengzhou University Main Campus

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Rapid urbanization worldwide has exacerbated the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Although studies on UHI effect have already become a hotspot, high-precision UHI investigations in cold regions utilizing remote sensing technologies are still underexplored.

The Effects of Urbanization on Infrastructure Sustainability and Resilience in Variable Microclimates Within Arid Environments

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Rapid urbanization significantly intensifies land surface temperature (LST), with profound implications for local climate, infrastructure sustainability, and environmental quality. The Local Climate Zones (LCZs) classification provides a standardized framework for examining urban thermal dynamics and supporting strategies to mitigate heat ...

Urban Heat Island (UHI) and heat waves: what relations?

, 2018
With four years of measurements and alarge sample of stations, the MUSTARDijon network allows for a detailed characterization of the Urban HeatIsland (UHI), a warm season phenomenon. But UHI and maximum temperature values are out of phase at twodistinct time-scales. Seasonally, the maxima of UHI occur from May to July, i.e.
