Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban greenspaces are a haven for wildlife in densely populated cities. Wildlife use greenspaces for resource acquisition, shelter, and travel across urbanized landscapes. Greenspace metrics such as herbaceous or woody landcover, size, patchiness, and human land use influence species richness.

Climability 2100: Towards a livable urban microclimate
, 2020 With a growing world population and changing climate conditions, cities have many problems to face in the future. The changing climate can affect the way we appropriate urban outdoor spaces which will affect the social sustainability in the city, so ...

Effects of Vegetated and Synthetic (Impervious) Surfaces on the Microclimate of Urban Area
Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2013 The present paper shows the considerable impacts of both vegetated and synthetic surfaces on the microclimate of urban area. Vegetation of a particular place affects the microclimate through reduced solar radiation and lower air temperature due to ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...

Assessment of the effects of different tree species on urban microclimate
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018 Trees in urban areas are important for their ecological functions in addition to their esthetic characteristics. Trees provide positive effects on urban microclimate by canopy, reflection, and transpiration activities; therefore, they help to decline formation of heat island.

Quantifying the Potential of Photonic Cooling to Improve Urban Microclimate [PDF]
, 2017 The observed warming trend in regional climate is expected to continue in the future, aggravating urban heat load as extreme temperatures are amplified in cities due to the urban heat island (UHI) effect.

Methodologies for assessing urban microclimates
, 2018 The environmental thermal loading on urban buildings is governed by its climate. It has long been recognised that cities exhibit distinct climates, and are typically warmer than surrounding rural areas to describe the influence of the urban heat island (UHI) effect.

SQUARE CONTRIBUTION TO URBAN MICROCLIMATE
, 2022 Devido as atuais dinâmicas e configurações do ambiente urbano, torna-se necessário que a paisagem construída e natural atue de forma equilibrada, garantindo qualidade ambiental ao ambiente construído. As praças – objeto deste estudo – proporcionam benefícios à vida pública urbana, além de influenciar na esfera ambiental.
