Environment & Ecology · Environment
With reference to urban heat mitigation through vegetation, consider the following statements: I.

Tree plantation invariably reduces urban temperatures, regardless of local climate conditions and water availability. III. In dry and water-scarce cities, unplanned urban greening can reduce cooling benefits and may even intensify urban warming. Which of the statements given above are correct?
