Do heat waves affect urban trees more than their rural counterparts?
A recent study details Trees in cities like New York, Boston, and Baltimore suffer more from heat waves and drought compared to the same species in nearby rural forests.
Urban trees face harsher conditions, such as higher temperatures, drier environments, and increased pollution, which worsen their vulnerability to climate stress and reduce their growth and carbon storage capabilities.
