Modeling urban tree growth as a part of the green infrastructure to estimate ecosystem services in urban planning

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Motivation: Planting urban trees is important for urban development. Foliage reflects, scatters, and absorbs incoming shortwave solar radiation, thus reducing the energy flow to the underlying surface, including streets, houses, and humans. Shaded areas,
