Mbeu dzvuku dzemuoki muCentral Park dzinokura kusvika kasere nekukurumidza kupfuura dzakarimwa nevazukuru vavo kunze kweguta, pamwe nekuda kwekuita kwedhorobha "kupisa chitsuwa" Columbia University vaongorori vanoshuma.
Vatsvakurudzi vakadyara mbesa dzemuoki mutsvuku muchirimo che2007 uye 2008 munzvimbo ina: kuchamhembe kwakadziva kumabvazuva kweCentral Park, pedyo ne105th Street; munzvimbo mbiri dzemasango mumusha weHudson Valley; uye pedyo neguta reAshokan Reservoir muCatskill makomo anenge 100 mamaira kuchamhembe kweManhattan. Pakupera kwechirimo chega chega, miti yeguta yakanga yawedzera zvakapetwa kasere kupfuura iyo yakasimudzwa kunze kweguta, maererano nekudzidza kwavo, kwakabudiswa mupepanhau Tree Physiology.
"Mbeu dzakakura zvikuru muguta, nekuderera kwekukura sezvaunosvika kure neguta," akadaro munyori anotungamira wechidzidzo ichi, Stephanie Searle, uyo aive mudzidzi weColumbia University pakatanga tsvakiridzo uye pari zvino ari muongorori wemutemo webiofuels pachikoro. International Council on Clean Transportation muWashington.
Vatsvagiri vakafungidzira kuti tembiricha inodziya yeManhattan - inosvika madhigirii masere panguva yehusiku kupfuura munzvimbo dzekumaruwa - inogona kunge iri chikonzero chikuru chekukura nekukurumidza kweCentral Park.
Asi tembiricha zviri pachena imwe chete yemusiyano pakati penzvimbo dzekumaruwa nemaguta. Kuti vaparadzanise basa rakaitwa ne thermostat, vaongorori vakasimudzawo mioki munzvimbo yerabhoritari apo mamiriro ese aive akafanana, kunze kwekudziya, iyo yakashandurwa kuti itevedzere mamiriro kubva munzvimbo dzakasiyana dzemunda. Zvechokwadi, vakacherechedza kukurumidza kukura kwemiti yemiouki yakasimudzwa mumamiriro ezvinhu anopisa, akafanana neaya anoonekwa mumunda, Dr. Searle vakati.
Izvo zvinonzi urban heat island effect inowanzokurukurwa maererano nemigumisiro inogona kuipa. Asi chidzidzo ichi chinoratidza kuti inogona kunge iri bhenefiti kune mamwe marudzi. "Zvimwe zvipenyu zvinogona kubudirira mumamiriro emaguta," mumwe munyori, Kevin Griffin, nyanzvi yezvemiti paLamont-Doherty Earth Observatory kuColumbia, akadaro mukutaura.
Mibairo inofambirana nea 2003 kudzidza muNature iyo yakawana mwero mukuru wekukura pakati pemiti yemupoplar yakasimudzwa muguta kupfuura pakati peiyo inorimwa mumaruwa akapoteredza. Asi chidzidzo chazvino chakaenda kure nekuparadzanisa mhedzisiro yekushisa, Dr. Searle akadaro.
Maoki matsvuku uye hama dzavo dzinotonga masango mazhinji kubva kuVirginia kusvika kumaodzanyemba kweNew England. Chiitiko chemuouki mutsvuku weCentral Park chinogona kupa zviratidzo kune zvingaitika mumasango kune imwe nzvimbo sezvo tembiricha inokwira mumakumi emakore anouya nekufambira mberi kwekushanduka kwemamiriro ekunze, vaongorori vakakurudzira.
