Cooling and Warming Efficiency of Vegetation and Impervious Surface

Remote sensing based studies of urban thermal environment usually analyze the relationship among vegetation, impervious surface, and Land Surface Temperature (LST). Although the cooling effects of vegetation and warming effects of impervious surface have been widely recognized, quantitative studies on cooling and warming efficiencies are lacking. In this study, Land Surface Cooling Rate (LSCR) and Land Surface Warming Rate (LSWR) were used to quantify the cooling efficiency of vegetation and the warming efficiency of impervious surface, respectively. Taking the central urban area of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province in 2017 as the research area, Landsat 8 OLI remote sensing data of four dates were selected as the data source. Firstly, Linear Spectral Mixture Analysis (LSMA) was used to obtain Fractional Vegetation Coverage (FVC) and Impervious Surface Percentage (ISP). High-resolution Google earth images were used for precision verification. Then, with LST inversion results, the LSCR and LSWR of each season were calculated, and the influence of different LSTs on the LSCR and LSWR was analyzed. Finally, using a thresholding method, FVC and ISP were divided into four intervals of 0%~25%, 25%~50%, 50%~75% and 75%~100%. The LSCR and LSWR of each interval were calculated. On this basis, the changes of LSCR and LSWR of different intervals were analyzed. The results show that: (1) LST is positively correlated with the overall LSCR and LSWR. The cooling effect of vegetation and the warming effect of impervious layer are the strongest in summer, with LSCR being 5.6% and LSWR being 5.1%. (2) In summer, LSCR in every interval is positively correlated with FVC. When FVC is 75%~100%, LSCR reaches the maximum value of 7.5%. In addition, LSWR in every interval is negatively correlated with ISP in summer. When ISP is 75%~100%, LSWR reaches the minimum value of 2.4%. (3) In the future planning, the cooling effect of vegetation can best inhibit the warming effect of impervious surface when FVC is 0%~25% while ISP is 75%~100%, which is the best areal combination of vegetation and impermeable surface. The LSCR and LSWR analysis methods adopted in this study can select the best FVC and ISP intervals from the perspective of preventing the rise of surface temperature. Based on this, different cities can be compared with each other in the future. Considering the impacts of latitude, topography, climate, tree species, etc. on LSCR and LSWR, we can further explore the influencing factors and changing rules of LSCR and LSWR.
