Cooling island effect in urban parks from the perspective of internal park landscape
Humanities & Social Sciences Communications, 2023 Urban parks can effectively reduce surface temperatures, which is an important strategic approach to reducing the urban heat island effect. Quantifying the cooling effect of urban parks and identifying their main internal influencing factors is important
