Aspect of tree for controlling outdoor microclimate: a case study in IIUM

Trees have been known for their potential in controlling the microclimate. Trees can be differentiated based on species and their physical aspect or character. This aspect has certain influence in the screening potential of trees on solar radiation from reaching the ground. Identifying the character...
