Urban Heat Islands Plant Physiology Biodiversity Climate Adaptation Environmental Stress

Urban heat islands (UHIs) present a significant environmental challenge, affecting plant physiology and biodiversity. This study examines the physiological responses of various plant species to UHIs, focusing on photosynthesis, water usage, and stress tolerance. By comparing urban and rural plant populations in diverse climatic regions, we identified adaptive traits that enhance resilience to elevated temperatures. Our findings suggest that urban environments can drive evolutionary changes in plant populations, with implications for urban planning and biodiversity conservation.
