MomatHWTK Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 This website shows you the tree coverage for cities all over the world. http://senseable.mit.edu/treepedia From the website: "Increasing a city’s tree canopy contributes to lowering urban temperatures by blocking shortwave radiation and increasing water evaporation. Creating more comfortable microclimates, trees also mitigate air pollution caused by everyday urban activities. Their absorptive root systems also help avoid floods during severe rains and storm surges. So overall, trees are pretty awesome." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
