Cities were already known to retain more heat than the rural environments that surround them, but new modeling from researchers in the United Kingdom now suggests that urban
Decreased cloud cover partially offsets the cooling effects of surface albedo change due to deforestation This study shows that deforestation locally reduces global low-level and tropical high-level clouds, with the resulting warming partially counteracting the cooling of increased surface albedo. Hao ...
Climate change threatens the health and survival of urban trees and the various benefits they deliver to urban inhabitants. Here, we show that 56% and 65% of species in 164 cities across 78 countries are currently exceeding temperature and precipitation conditions experienced in their geographic rang...
