Urban tree planting: a strategy to mitigate global warming
The article takes a closer look at urban tree planting in relation to current global warming concerns. Trees capture and store CO2 so they directly help to avoid the earth heating up, directly. Trees also decrease temperature in open space, minimizing urban heat islands, diminishing solar radiation...

Los árboles capturan y almacenan CO2, por lo que contribuyen de manera directa con la mitigación del calentamiento global. Además, atenúan la temperatura de los espacios públicos, minimizan el efecto de Islas de Calor en las ciudades y disminuyen el impacto de la radiación solar sobre las edificaciones, por lo que reducen los consumos de energía eléctrica para aire acondicionado, y así, de manera indirecta, contribuyen con la reducción del calentamiento global, pues merman las emisiones de CO2 en las plantas generadoras de energía eléctrica. Algunas ciudades están empezando a aprovechar esas potencialidades del arbolado urbano, pero en la mayoría se continúa planificando la arborización bajo el enfoque del paisajismo, de la estética, que muchas veces genera severos daños a la infraestructura urbana. Se concluyeque los programas académicos en los campos de la arquitectura, el diseño y la planificación urbana, deben incluir prontamente en sus currículos el estudio de las arborizaciones urbanas (en profundidad), para que los árboles urbanos no sean simples elementos decorativos, ni mucho menos de plástico, sino un recurso estratégico que contribuya activamente con la mitigación del calentamiento global.application/pdfspaUniversidad Antonio Nariñohttp://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/103/842346-092X1909-3888REVISTA NODO; Vol. 8 Núm. 16 (2014); 99 - 108CO2 capture and storageurban heat islands (UHI)urban botanyCaptura y almacenamiento de CO2Islas de Calorbotánica urbanaUrban tree planting: a strategy to mitigate global warmingArborizaciones urbanas: estrategia para mitigar el calentamiento globalArtículo revisado por paresinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85123456789/5582oai:repositorio.uan.edu.co:123456789/55822024-10-09 22:57:39.636https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/Acceso abiertometadata.onlyhttps://repositorio.uan.edu.coRepositorio Institucional UANalertas.repositorio@uan.edu.co |
