Microclimate Influences Visitor Preferences in Urban Green Spaces: A Case Study of Wisdom Park
ForestistUrban green areas offer a range of ecosystem services and recreational attractions, including the comfortable microclimate. However, the influence of microclimate conditions on visitor preferences to visit urban green space areas is still necessary to be

Delayed rainfall diminishes the positive response of soil respiration to warming
Grassland Research, EarlyView.Warming stimulates soil respiration and its components, while delayed rainfall suppresses them. Crucially, delayed rainfall diminishes or even reverses the positive response of soil respiration to warming by intensifying the drought stress, and autotrophic respiration is more vulnerable than heterotrophic respiration under this interaction.

Multi‐Timescale Drought Evolution in Greece (1960–2022) From Station‐Based SPI and SPEI
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Using homogenized data from 67 HNMS stations in Greece (1960–2022), we calculated SPI and SPEI at 1–12‐month scales to characterize meteorological to hydrological drought. We quantified the network‐based spatial extent of drought, compared SPI and SPEI drought signals, and tested changes with autocorrelation‐robust Mann–Kendall trends and Pettitt ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.When compared to resident lizards of the corresponding age class, juvenile headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population exhibited more favorable responses to short‐term translocation objectives (i.e., daily movement rates, home range sizes, and survival rates) than did conspecifics headstarted to the adult age class ...

Microclimatic Landscape Architecture: From Theory to Application
Urban Science, 2022 Global climate change and urban heat island intensification are making many cities dangerously hot during heat waves. There is a need for a clear process for applying microclimate information in urban design to create cooler cities. A recent paper points

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As the global tourism industry confronts the existential imperatives of the Anthropocene, the remediation of degraded landscapes through regenerative economic models has emerged as a critical frontier in sustainability science. This research presents a rigorous empirical examination of the “restoration–revenue” paradigm, investigating the ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Territorial spatial optimization is a key strategy to promote long‐term regional sustainable development. Although ant colony optimization (ACO) is widely used in territorial spatial optimization, it is prone to local optima and offers limited integration of spatial suitability and regional heterogeneity. To address these problems, an adaptive

THE CLIMATE SENSITIVE DESIGN IN HOT-HUMID URBAN DESIGN
Dimensi: Journal of Architecture and Built Environment, 2017 Urban and microclimate have intense relationship that affecting each other’s. Specific urban structure can affect microclimate because of high radiation generated. In the other side, urban structure blocks distribution of incoming wind.

Energies, 2023 The climate data used for dynamic energy simulation of buildings located in urban regions are usually collected in meteorological stations situated in rural areas, which do not accurately represent the urban microclimate (e.g., urban heat island effect),
