| Abstract | Urban greening has often been proposed as a cost-effective solution to improve environmental comfort, but may alsodeteriorate air quality. Quantifying these two opposing effects of urbangreening is necessary to develop successful environmental policies forspecific mega-city clusters. In this study, a high-resolution regionalclimate and air quality model (WRF-Chem, v4.0.3) was employed totest three scenarios aimed at quantifying the impact of land-use changeand biogenic emissions from urban greening on regional climate and airquality. It was found that urban greening could effectively decrease thenear-surface temperature by up to 0.45 degrees C, but the increased biogenicvolatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions offset some of thiscooling effect (by up to 65%). Land-use change due to urban greeningdominated the improvement in human comfort but worsened diffusionconditions to result in the convergence offine particulate matter in specific areas. The selection of low-emission tree species may beimperative, although increased emissions from urban greening will not change the sensitivity of ozone to precursors under thecurrent scenario of anthropogenic emissions. This is because BVOC emissions due to urban greening will become a more important source of pollution with the development of clean energy and the popularity of low-carbon lifestyles |
