Surface Urban Energy and Water Balance Scheme (v2020a) in vegetated areas: parameter derivation and performance evaluation using FLUXNET2015 dataset

Hamidreza Omidvar et al.

Summary: In order to compare the impact of surface-atmosphere exchanges between rural and urban areas, it is necessary to model fully vegetated areas commonly found near cities. This study provides a workflow to derive parameters for SUEWS, focusing on vegetation phenology, heat storage, and surface conductance. The results show that surface conductance plays a dominant role in the model's performance, suggesting the need for more accurate estimations of surface conductance parameters. The study evaluates the performance of SUEWS in simulating latent heat flux at 38 FLUXNET sites, and highlights the importance of capturing vegetation dynamics for accurate predictions.

Extensive Urban Green Roof Shows Consistent Annual Net Uptake of Carbon as Documented by 5 Years of Eddy-Covariance Flux Measurements

J. Konopka et al.

Summary: Research revealed that green roofs exhibit significant interannual variation in carbon uptake, highly influenced by precipitation and dry days. A warmer climate in the future may cause green roofs to lose their carbon uptake function, while sustainable irrigation methods could potentially help maintain this function.

Representativeness of Eddy-Covariance flux footprints for areas surrounding AmeriFlux sites

Housen Chu et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the matching between flux footprints and target areas to address a major challenge in model-data integration. The researchers found that mismatches could introduce biases and advocate for footprint-awareness when using flux datasets. They propose a representativeness index based on evaluations to guide specific applications and data use.

Multi-level CO2 fluxes over Beijing megacity with the eddy covariance method

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: The study based on five years of measurements at Beijing's meteorological tower reveals that the growth rate of CO2 fluxes at 140 m height has slowed down due to total vehicle control policy from 2011. Vehicle numbers and population density are the main controlling factors of annual total CO2 fluxes in Beijing. Decreasing vegetation cover leads to an increase in annual total CO2 flux, with a positive correlation with population density.

Promoting sustainable carbon sequestration of plants in urban greenspace by planting design: A case study in parks of Beijing

Yanan Wang et al.

Summary: This study developed a transdisciplinary framework linking carbon sequestration research with planting design practices in urban parks. It found that carbon sequestration efficiency varied across urban parks and was influenced by plant growth, individual plant properties, and biotope structure. Medium-sized plants and biotopes with partly open structure were identified as cost-effective for sustainable carbon sequestration in urban greenspace. The results provide information for landscape architects to improve sustainable carbon sequestration in similar cities.

Switching on auxiliary devices in vehicular fuel efficiency tests can help cut CO2 emissions by millions of tons

Da Zhang et al.

Summary: Research shows that in China, using air conditioning when the temperature exceeds 25 degrees Celsius increases annual gasoline consumption by 1.3%; car models produced by Chinese manufacturers have relatively lower AC efficiency. Improving AC efficiency can cost-effectively reduce CO2 emissions by 1.6-2.4 million tons in China annually.
