It’s not just how much green space there is, but also how it’s arranged that determines heat extremes. Researchers from @ZALF and BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg analyzed satellite data from Lusatia from 2013 to 2023. For areas of 100 km² or larger, the location and shape of landscape features account for 35 to 50% of heat extremes. Well-connected areas with simple shapes mitigate heat, while fragmented landscapes intensify it.
