Albedo as a Competing Warming Effect of Urban Greening
JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH: ATMOSPHERES
18 december 2023
Hannah Schlaerth, Sam J. Silva, Yun Li, Dan Li

Urban greening is often proposed for urban heat island (UHI) mitigation because vegetation provides shade and increases evapotranspiration. However...
