Table 1 The Italian city and its number of neighborhoods (Nh), heatwave maximum apparent temperature threshold (MATth, deg C), maximum apparent temperature 90th percentile for summer during the 1998 to 2002 period (MAT90, deg C), the increase in tree canopy cover between the base case and alternative scenario to reach 30% as the average across all neighborhoods (ΔTC, %), and then for base case and alternative (alt) scenario the 2003 heatwave (HW) events, heatwave degree days (HWDD), and heatwave-attributed mortality
From: Neighborhood-scale reductions in heatwave burden projected under a 30% minimum tree cover scenario
