Impact of development on Baghdad’s urban microclimate and human thermal comfort
Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2020 Achieving sustainability by improving the urban microclimate is a key principle in mitigating the urban heat island (UHI) effect. This study focuses on the reduction of the urban heat island phenomena in a combination of historical compacted areas with ...

Analysis of the Impact of Urban Microclimate on Air Conditioning Load Control
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016 Due to the presence of urban heat island effect (UHIE), high humidity and other urban microclimate, temperature of city central area rises. This causes that the actual air-conditioning energy consumption (ACEC) in the urban central area is much higher ...

The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Intra-Urban Microclimate Effects on Phenology [PDF]
Urban Science, 2018 The urban heat island effect is commonly defined as the thermal differences between cooler rural and warmer urban areas, but it also refers to microclimatic differences within an urban area that arises from varied combinations of land cover related to different land uses.
