}Use Case: Municipal planners can target high‑priority heat‑vulnerable zones and select species mixes that deliver measurable cooling (1.8°C reduction), biodiversity gains (Shannon index 3.05), and pollinator habitat benefits. Evidence shows higher street-tree biodiversity correlates with lower summer temperatures even after controlling for canopy cover.
