Tropical tree for urban environment: their microclimatic properties

Trees have always been a major element in urban landscape design. Formerly, the existence of trees in landscape design focused on the aesthetic and functional aspects of trees in offering better urban living environments. By understanding the thermal performances of these tropical trees, they can be...
