About this ebook
Key topics include the impact of microclimate on plant processes - such as photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration, and translocation - and applications in citizen science, early warning systems, and public datasets that inform urban planning, traffic management, and public health.
The book also demonstrates microclimate modeling for energy-efficient urban design, accounting for temperature, humidity, solar radiation, and wind speed, making it a practical guide for researchers, policymakers, and engineers working to build sustainable and resilient Delta cities.
