Efficiency of parks in mitigating urban heat island effect: An example from Addis Ababa

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the cooling effect of vegetation on urban surface and air temperature, 21 parks in Addis Ababa were studied and found that Eucalyptus sp. had a significantly higher cooling effect than any other species group (P < 0.05) and the species with the least effect on temperature were Grevillea and Cupressus.
