DOI: 10.1002/2016gl072190
Abstract: Although the importance of vegetation in mitigating the urban heat island (UHI) is known, the impacts of UHI-induced changes in micrometeorological conditions on vegetation are not well understood. Here we show that plant water requirements… read more here.

Urban Heat Island Trends in the Middle East and North Africa: A statistical approach
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "International Journal of Climatology"
DOI: 10.1002/joc.8563
Abstract: The urban heat island (UHI) effect denotes that temperatures in urban areas are often higher compared to the rural background. This human‐induced phenomenon can exacerbate heat stress and adverse health impacts, adding to ongoing global… read more here.

The Increase in Urban Heat Due to Global Warming Can be Significantly Affected by the Structure of the Land Use and Land Cover
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "International Journal of Climatology"
DOI: 10.1002/joc.8642
Abstract: Urban populations are increasingly exposed to excessive heat. Heat distribution in the urban environment can be affected by several factors, including the spatial arrangement of land use/land cover (LULC) that is specific to a given… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10980-024-01807-1
Abstract: Land use/cover change (LUCC) can directly and indirectly affect surface urban heat island intensity (SUHII) and the effects need to be decomposed. To perform long-term trend analyses of contribution indexes (CIs) of land use types… read more here.
