Interactions between urban vegetation and surface urban heat islands: a case study in the Boston metropolitan region

Many studies have used thermal data from remote sensing to characterize how land use and surface properties modify the climate of cities. However, relatively few studies have examined the impact of elevated temperature on ecophysiological processes in urban areas. In this paper, we use time series o...
