This is great news.
Do trees reduce heat? I guess they provide shade.
Let's do reforestation on Iceland too.
They reduce the urban heat island effect a ton by casting shade
Its more than just shade! Trees create extra cooling effect by using the suns energy and from the water evaporating from their leaves. Thats why you won't burn your feet on grass but an equally dark pavement burns your feet. Tree > umbrella in terms of heat mitigation.
Absolutely, there can be a 20 degree C (35 degree F) difference in the same area on streets with trees vs streets without trees.
Iceland you say? More good news for you!
