The interactions between urban forests and global climate change

There are four main ways that urban forests can affect global climate change: 1) by removing various atmospheric chemicals (e.g., CO2); 2) by emitting various atmospheric chemicals either directly from the vegetation or indirectly through vegetation maintenance practices; 3) by altering urban microclimates (e.g., air temperature reductions); and 4) by altering building energy use and consequently emissions from power plants.
