What would planting native trees near a parking lot help with?


A: Reducing heat islands
B: Source reduction
C: Minimizing energy performance
D: Improving water quality

参考答案: A

本题解释:
By shading the parking lot the trees help reduce the heat island effect (non-roof).

The heat island effect is created when developed areas have higher temperatures than surrounding rural areas. An urban heat island effect is caused by sunlight heating up dark colored surfaces such as roads and rooftops. Huge quantities of heat are generated in buildings that have dark rooftops and absorb heat rather than reflect it.
