A Human-Water Systems Perspective on Vegetation Cooling and Water Constraints in Arid Regions

2026-03-10

Abstract excerpt

Urban greening is widely promoted as a heat adaptation strategy, yet its effectiveness for cooling in arid, water-stressed regions remains uncertain from an ecohydrologic perspective. In arid regions, where water scarcity and rising temperatures converge, popular greening strategies warrant critique. I present research that identifies gaps in dominant public narratives, such as the presumption that trees are the m...
