Figure 5.
Effects on minimum and maximum daily temperature were strongest within 10 m and for trees (a), compared to further distances and other vegetation types (medium, fine) within different distances of temperature loggers. Land cover types in the study area (b), derived from remote-sensed data (available at 1 m2 resolution, https://www.stormwaterheatmap.org/), were compared to on-the-ground-measurements of tree cover taken at locations of temperature loggers (circles, color coded by mean minimum daily temperature). Vegetation classes are “Fine vegetation” such as grass (cover class 1), Medium vegetation” such as shrubs (cover class 2), and tree cover (“Coarse vegetation”, cover class 3), as well as dirt barren (class 4), water (class 5), impervious other (class 6), and impervious roofs (class 7). Effect sizes are from hierarchical linear models in Table S3; bars are filled if p < 0.10; error bars represent standard error. Map units are UTM Eastings and Northings.
