Effects of Evapotranspiration on Mitigation of Urban Temperature by Vegetation and Urban Agriculture

Effects of Evapotranspiration on Mitigation of Urban Temperature by Vegetation and Urban Agriculture

The temperature difference between an urban space and surrounding non-urban space is called the urban heat island effect (UHI). Global terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) can consume 1.4803×1023 joules (J) of energy annually, which is about 21.74% of the total available solar energy at the top of at...
