- Benefits of restoring ecosystem services in urban areas (2015, background): “The cooling effect of trees in cities may contribute significantly to reduce energy needs from fossil fuels and cut carbon emissions [17].”
- How might contact with nature promote human health? Promising mechanisms and a possible central pathway (2015, background): “High temperatures can cause heat exhaustion, heat-related aggression and violence, and respiratory distress due to heat-related smog formation (Anderson, 2001; Akbari, 2002; Tawatsupa et al., 2012).”
- Sustainable urban agriculture: stocktake and opportunities (2010, background): “Shade trees have approximately double the mitigative impact of reflective roofs (Akbari, 2002).”
- Planting the Living City (2011, background): “Urban forests mitigate climate impacts by removing a range of gaseous pollutants and airborne particulates and, through shading, reduce the urban heat island effect and greenhouse gas emissions from power plants (Akbari, 2002; APA 2009; Daniels, 2010; Nowak, 2000).”
