Abstract

Highlights: Urban tree canopy cover is a promising solution for mitigating heat island. Data-driven guidance on tree selection and planting locations is still limited. Four research priorities are proposed, requiring a collaborative research effort. Cross-climate morphological and physiological characteristics are desired. Integration with atmospheric boundary layer models is suggested.
