This quiz is designed to assess your understanding of the importance of urban tree canopy in mitigating heat islands. Heat islands are urban areas that are significantly warmer than their surrounding rural areas, due to factors such as the concentration of buildings and pavement, which absorb and re-emit heat. Urban tree canopy can help to mitigate heat islands by providing shade, evapotranspiration, and other cooling effects.
