Green spaces play an important role for urban populations, whether by protecting against extreme weather events or providing space for recreation. In two studies, researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) show just how much a diverse tree population affects the microclimate, rainwater seepage and human well-being. Their results have been published in the journals Sustainable Cities and Society and Scientific Reports.
Diverse tree populations can make cities more climate-resilient and people happier
