The effect of climate on current and future urban vegetation outdoor surface cooling during periods of extreme heat
Vegetation is increasingly viewed as an important component of enhancing the heat resilience of cities. However, the amount of cooling vegetation can provide varies both geographically and temporally in ways that may depend on weather conditions. Within a city the distribution of vegetation can often exhibit patterns of inequality with high income and primarily white neighborhoods having the most vegetation and cooler temperatures, a clear indica…
Urban tree cover provides consistent mitigation of extreme heat in arid but not humid cities
Urban land cover types influence the urban microclimates. However, recent work indicates the magnitude of land cover's microclimate influence is affected by aridity. Moreover, this variation in cooling and warming potentials of urban land cover types can substantially alter the exposure of urban areas to extreme heat. Our goal is to understand both the relative influences of urban land cover on local air temperature, as well as how these influenc…
Agrivoltaic system design tools for managing trade-offs between energy production, crop productivity and water consumption
Agrivoltaic systems that locate crop production and photovoltaic energy generation on the same land have the potential to aid the transition to renewable energy by reducing the competition between food, habitat, and energy needs for land while reducing irrigation requirements. Experimental efforts to date have not adequately developed an understanding of the interaction among local climate, array design and crop selection sufficient to manage tra…
Soil NH3 emissions across an aridity, soil pH, and N deposition gradient in southern California
Soil ammonia (NH3) emissions are seldom included in ecosystem nutrient budgets; however, they may represent substantial pathways for ecosystem nitrogen (N) loss, especially in arid regions where hydrologic N losses are comparatively small. To characterize how multiple factors affect soil NH3 emissions, we measured NH3 losses from 6 dryland sites along a gradient in soil pH, atmospheric N deposition, and rainfall. We also enriched soils with ammon…
Altered precipitation has asymmetric impacts on annual plant communities in warm and cool growing seasons
While altered precipitation regimes can greatly impact biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, we lack a comprehensive view of how these impacts are mediated by changes to the seasonality of precipitation (i.e., whether it rains more/less in one season relative to another). Over 2 years, we examined how altered seasonal precipitation influenced annual plant biomass and species richness, Simpson’s diversity, and community composition of annual pla…
Socio-environmental determinants of the perceived value of moist Afromontane forest ecosystem services in Kaffa Biosphere Reserve, Ethiopia
Small vegetated patches greatly reduce urban surface temperature during a summer heatwave in Adelaide, Australia
Greater aridity increases the magnitude of urban nighttime vegetation-derived air cooling
High nighttime urban air temperatures increase health risks and economic vulnerability of people globally. While recent studies have highlighted nighttime heat mitigation effects of urban vegetation, the magnitude and variability of vegetation-derived urban nighttime cooling differs greatly among cities. We hypothesize that urban vegetation-derived nighttime air cooling is driven by vegetation density whose effect is regulated by aridity through …
Improved modelling of soil NO x emissions in a high temperature agricultural region
EPA reports a steady decline of US anthropogenic NO x emissions in 2005–2019 summers, while NO 2 vertical column densities (VCDs) from the OMI satellite over large spatial domains have flattened since 2009. To better understand the contributing factors to a flattening of the OMI NO 2 trends, we investigate the role of soil and lightning NO x emissions on this apparent disagreement. We improve soil NO x emissions estimates using a new observation-…

Harnessing cross-border resources to confront climate change
Urban outdoor water use and response to drought assessed through mobile energy balance and vegetation greenness measurements
Urban vegetation provides many highly valued ecosystem services but also requires extensive urban water resources. Increasingly, cities are experiencing water limitations and managing outdoor urban water use is an important concern. Quantifying the water lost via evapotranspiration (ET) is critical for urban water management and conservation, especially in arid or semi-arid regions. In this study, we deployed a mobile energy balance platform to m…

Effects of Urban Vegetation on Mitigating Exposure of Vulnerable Populations to Excessive Heat in Cleveland, Ohio
Hot weather is a threat to human health, especially in cities, where urban heat islands (UHIs) are elevating temperatures already on the rise from global climate change. Increased vegetation can help reduce temperatures and exposure to heat hazards. Here, an ensemble of geographically weighted regressions (GWR) on land surface temperature (LST) is conducted for May–October to estimate potential LST reductions from increased vegetation and to asse…
Regulation of CO 2 and N 2 O fluxes by coupled carbon and nitrogen availability
Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) interactions contribute to uncertainty in current biogeochemical models that aim to estimate greenhouse gas (GHG, including CO _2 and N _2 O) emissions from soil to atmosphere. In this study, we quantified CO _2 and N _2 O flux patterns and their relationship along with increasing C additions only, N additions only, a C gradient combined with excess N, and an N gradient with excess C via laboratory incubations. Convent…
Urban vegetation and income segregation in drylands
To better understand how urbanization affects the amount and timing of urban vegetation in drylands we investigated remotely sensed vegetation patterns across seven large metropolitan regions in the southwestern United States. We asked (1) how low density urban land cover differed from adjacent wildland grass, herb, and shrub land covers in both the amount of vegetation and the length of the growing season, (2) how neighborhood income affected pa…
Ecosystem services and urban heat riskscape moderation
Urban ecosystems are subjected to high temperatures--extreme heat events, chronically hot weather, or both-through interactions between local and global climate processes. Urban vegetation may provide a cooling ecosystem service, although many knowledge gaps exist in the biophysical and social dynamics of using this service to reduce climate extremes. To better understand patterns of urban vegetated cooling, the potential water requirements to su…
