Nice reminder of the importance of radiation shields for urban heat studies. Reminds me of this old favourite of mine that I’m constantly sending colleagues in ecology: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Half the Urban Heat Island effect is currently mitigated by tree cover globally--but benefits are greatest for wealthy cities + suburbs. Current tree cover can only mitigate 10% of urban temp increase due to climate; maximal planting could offset just 10% more. More from @science.nature.org here:

I was driving from Iowa towards the Twin Cities, a very rural to very urban gradient. On the thermometer, I watched the temp drop from 78 to 67 as nightfall hit, but 20 miles out of town, it started creeping back up, going up nearly 7 degrees. I was surprised how far out from city you saw this trend
