A influência da arborização no contexto da variação de temperatura na cidade de Riacho Frio-PI

Abstract

Tree planting is the process of planting and caring for trees in urban areas, such as streets, parks, squares and gardens. Tree plantig is the process of plantig and caringa for trees in urban areas,such as streets, parks,squares and gardens. Tree planting plays a vital role in building more sustainable,resilient and liveble cities. Its positive impacts range from improving environmental quality and public health to economic growth and promoting social well-being. Trees act as natural acoustic barriers, absorbing and blocking part of the noise, and also promote the financial value of properties in well-forested areas. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of urban tree planting on the local microclimate at two different points on Antônio Mascarenhas Street. Four on-site visits were made to conduct the research, the first two on October 13, at 11 am and 2 pm, and the second two on October 27, at the same times. The analyses of the street's tree cover were carried out through a field study and floristic inventory, evaluating all living individuals present at the research site, including shrubs and trees, observing the following points. In both sections, an increase in temperature was observed between 11 am and 2 pm, which is expected due to the incidence of sunlight. However, the increase was more pronounced in the non-tree-lined section of Antônio Mascarenhas Street. The presence of trees in the tree-lined section contributes to a smaller temperature variation throughout the day. The results obtained indicate significant thermal variations between October 13 and 27, with temperature differences observed in the morning and afternoon periods, both in the tree-lined and non-tree-lined sections
