About this document
Urban Heat Regulation by Palm Groves by Alexander Pomalaza Villena is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study analyzes the impact of the historical Palm Grove of Elche, a traditional agroecosystem, on urban temperature regulation amidst the challenges posed by urban heat islands (UHI). Using satellite remote sensing data, it reveals that the palm grove significantly mitigates urban temperatures, extending its cooling effects beyond its immediate vicinity. The findings underscore the importance of conserving such agroecosystems for their ecological benefits and their adaptation to semi-arid conditions.
