Numerous cities undertakes substantial tree planting initiatives for heatwave mitigation, driven by model predictions indicating a positive mitigation impact. However, emerging studies suggest that the transpiration behavior of trees during heatwaves significantly deviates from normal. This divergence, overlooked in current climate models, introduces possibility inaccuracies predicting cooling heatwaves. In this research, 1) The universality changed heat wave is revealed: study over 700 various species indicates at least 65 % sampled overestimated conventional waves. 2) scheme within revised to represent new pattern. Comparison shows overestimates peak hour efficiency 60 %. Consequently, effectiveness large-scale tree-planting as strategy may not meet expectations, emphasizing need refinement

Trees are crucial elements for improving urban microclimates by providing cooling through shading, evapotranspiration, and windbreaks. To maximise their effects, it is essential to strategically position the trees in optimal locations. However, research on optimising tree location its impact limited owing computational challenges costs. This study introduces a novel method that employs three optimisation algorithms—i.e., Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II), Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO), Ant Colony (ACO)—to identify locations environments enhance thermal comfort. The methodology involves simulating microclimate responses placements optimised each algorithm assessing results based underscore efficacy of locations, demonstrating can significantly reduce Universal Thermal Comfort Index (UTCI) areas. Furthermore, findings suggest clustering canopies has compounding these benefits Notably, all algorithms improved UTCI. PSO demonstrated rapid identification effective configurations. ACO provided most substantial reduction air temperature, highlighting potential as an tool cooling. While efficient, NSGA-II plateaued earlier, suggesting utility scenarios where timely solutions crucial.
