Cities around the world rely on trees to keep temperatures lower. New research shows trees are remarkably effective – but can’t do it all
- Lecturer, Bangor University
As Australian cities heat up, street trees are needed more than ever for their cooling. It turns out many are more resilient to heat than expected.
Urban plantings are part of the solution to living in warmer cities, but most tree and shrub species in the world’s cities will struggle too. The impacts on liveability could be huge.
Las plantaciones urbanas son parte de la solución para mitigar el calor, pero la mayoría de las especies de árboles y arbustos de las ciudades del mundo tendrán problemas para adaptarse a condiciones extremas.
Si les arbres jouent un rôle de bouclier thermique en ville, ils sont aussi les premiers menacés par les conséquences des changements climatiques, souligne une nouvelle étude conduite dans 78 pays.
