Dealing with the Consequences of Climate Change in Historic Parks and Gardens in the United Kingdom
(2019)
Given that long term climate change is recognised as having an ›impact upon all aspects of daily life, not least the survival of heritage assets‹ there is a need to consider all aspects of heritage in the United Kingdom (UK). In order to provide an international context for the German situation this paper looks specifically at adaptation measures that have developed within the main British conservation and horticultural organisations, Historic England, the National Trust and the Royal Horticultural Society. It does this by providing some cultural context for the present policies. It then looks at how the climate is expected to change by the end of this century. It identifies the main challenges, and then reviews the responses by way of adaptation and mitigation.
Untersucht werden in dieser Studie die Gehwege des Tiergartens. Anhand von Feldmessungen auf neun verschiedenen Wegen mit unterschiedlichen Konfigurationen von Breite, Vegetation und Beschattung und einer ENVI-met-Simulationsreihe von fünfzehn entsprechenden Szenarien untersucht diese Studie, wie sich der Vegetationstyp entlang des Weges, der Überdachungszustand und die Gehwegbreite auf den menschlich-thermischen Komfort auswirken.
