🔆 GREEN PARADOX — Urban Heat & Tree Plantation 📍 What’s the issue? ✅ Cities are heating up due to climate change + urban heat islands ✅ Tree plantation is promoted as a nature-based cooling solution — but results vary 📍 Key finding (Global study | Science Advances) ✅ Introduces Temperature Regulation Capability (TRC) ➡️ TRC = Vegetated area temperature − Built-up area temperature ➡️ Negative TRC = cooling, Positive TRC = warming 📍 What did the study find? ✅ Vegetation cooled cities in most cases ❌ Dry / arid cities showed warming instead of cooling ✅ Grasslands cooled built-up areas in 78% cities ✅ Trees cooled in 98% cities, but ~25% dry cities saw warming ⚠️ In arid zones, low water → weak evapotranspiration → reduced cooling 📍 Why the paradox? ✅ Vegetation cools via evapotranspiration ❌ In water-scarce cities, this process weakens ❌ Vegetation may absorb more sunlight than concrete ❌ Extreme heat reduces plant water loss → less cooling 📍 Core takeaway ⚠️ Planting trees is not a universal solution ⚠️ Misguided greening can worsen urban warming ✅ Urban planning must be climate- and water-context specific 🔆 Mains Question 📍 “Urban greening is often projected as a solution to rising city temperatures, yet recent studies highlight a ‘green paradox’.” Examine the statement with suitable examples. #GS1 #GS3 #Environment
