A Multi-Layer Model for Transpiration of Urban Trees Considering Vertical Structure
As the intensity of the urban heat island effect increases, the cooling effect of urban trees has become important. Urban trees cool surfaces during the day via shading, increasing albedo and transpiration. Many studies are being conducted to calculate the transpiration rate; however, most approache...
