Biometeorological Conditions During Heat Events in Polish Cities in Summer Months from 2020 to 2024

Atmosphere
This study analyzes biometeorological conditions during summer heat events in 11 cities located in different regions of Poland in the summer months from 2020 to 2024.

Shifts in cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of bees and wasps primarily reflect temperature variations rather than the amount of sealed ground surfaces in an urban landscape

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
The Urban Heat Island Effect (UHI) can potentially subject insects to heat and desiccation stress and likely induce shifts in their cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profile. We expected that warmer urbanized areas favour longer chain length of hydrocarbons as well as higher abundance of n‐alkanes in three Hymenoptera species. We found that temperature, more

Urban heat typologies: impact of heatwaves on urban built environment and heat stress risk to the elderly in Darmstadt, Germany

City and Environment Interactions
Climate change has made heatwaves common during German summers. The phenomenon of urban heat islands (UHIs) only worsens the adverse effects of heatwaves, especially for the elderly, defined as population aged 65+ for this study.

Thermal Safety Margins and Peak Leaf Temperatures Predict Vulnerability of Diverse Plant Species to an Experimental Heatwave

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extreme heat can push plants beyond their thermal safety margin (TSM) if maximum leaf temperature (Tleaf_max) exceeds leaf critical temperature (Tcrit). The TSM is potentially useful for assessing heat vulnerability across species but needs further validation, so we exposed 50 tree/shrub species in controlled glasshouses to a 6‐day heatwave ...

Water Availability and Hydraulic Strategies Control Leaf Thermoregulation and Damage During Heat Stress and Recovery in Temperate Tree Species

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
Abstract Heatwaves are intensifying worldwide, often coinciding with high vapour pressure deficit (VPD) and soil drought. Yet, how temperate tree species tolerate these combined stresses remains elusive. Using single‐tree gas‐exchange chambers, we examined the response of leaf gas exchange and thermoregulation of three broadleaved tree species to a ...

Evaluating the potential of persistent luminescence in counteracting urban overheating

Journal of Physics: Conference Series
Abstract In recent years, the use of numerical simulations to model real atmospheric conditions over cities has become increasingly popular. One of the primary objectives of these models is to assess the efficacy of various strategies for mitigating the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon.

A climate‐sensitive tropical urbanism under extreme heat†

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.
Tropical urban dwellers face twin climate challenges that impinge on their quality of life: climate overheating and the urban heat island (UHI). The latter superimposed on the former to lead to high levels of thermal discomfort, carbon and energy consequences.

Dwelling overheating in risk in cool climates: Assessing the risk in the context of retrofit and climate change in Ireland

Indoor Environments
In the context of large-scale retrofit and the predicted impacts of climate change, overheating risk in dwellings in cool climates is an increasing cause for concern.

Exploring the Role of Energy Consumption and Labour Productivity in Understanding the Effects of Climate Change on International Trade

The World Economy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change can influence international trade through several mechanisms, including infrastructure damage, disruptions to energy systems and reductions in labour productivity. Recent evidence for the United States also suggests that energy consumption responses play a central role in transmitting the real effects of natural disasters. Using

Green infrastructure as an adaptation approach to tackling urban overheating in the Glasgow Clyde Valley Region, UK [PDF]

, 2015
Although urban growth in the city of Glasgow, UK, has subsided, urban morphology continues to generate local heat islands. We present a relatively less data-intense method to classify local climate zones (LCZ)and evaluate the effectiveness of green ...
