Fig. 1. Global patterns of urban greening hydrological retention and cooling potential.
Spatial distributions and interrelationships of ERA5 re-analysis data forced models using intensive substrate (h = 150 mm) for: (B, C) Retention and (E, F) Cooling potential. (A, D) Violin plots for data extracted from GRUMP18 urban areas only. GSOD19 city point-data and locations are shown for reference in (B, C) and (E, F). Equivalent results for other substrates are given in Supplementary Figs. 6 and 7.
