Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the current progress in quantifying the potential of urban forests to mitigate urban CO2 emissions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the methods currently used to quantify carbon pools and CO2 fluxes of urban forests, and compiles currently available results, showing that vegetation did not offset CO2 emissions on an annual basis in studies from mid-latitude cities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability of soil organic carbon stocks and soil CO2 efflux across urban land use and soil cover types
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and soil CO2 efflux in urban areas and investigated the underlying processes which determine urban organic carbon stocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a microscale land use regression model for predicting NO2 concentrations at a heavy trafficked suburban area in Auckland, NZ.
TL;DR: The findings show that air quality monitoring is necessary at a high spatial density within cities in capturing small-scale variability in NO2 concentrations at the street level and assessing individual exposure to traffic related air pollutants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-cost sensors and microscale land use regression: Data fusion to resolve air quality variations with high spatial and temporal resolution
Lena Weissert,Kyle A. Alberti,Georgia Miskell,Woodrow Pattinson,Jennifer Salmond,Geoffrey Stephen Henshaw,David E. Williams,David E. Williams +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a microscale land use regression (LUR) model is used to spatially interpolate data from a well-calibrated network of low-cost air quality instruments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of a dense monitoring network of low-cost instruments to observe local changes in the diurnal ozone cycles as marine air passes over a geographically isolated urban centre.
Lena Weissert,Jennifer Salmond,Georgia Miskell,Maryam Alavi-Shoshtari,Stuart K. Grange,Geoffrey Stephen Henshaw,David E. Williams +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that measurements made using a carefully managed multi-sensor network of low-cost gas-sensitive semiconductor instruments are sufficiently precise to resolve subtle but significant variations in ozone concentration across a region.
