Abstract

Climate in urban areas, not under the effect of vegetation, was investigated and its benefits were observed in both vegetated and un-vegetated areas. The objective of this research was to model the air temperature and relative humidity using the Software ENVI-met® in an urban park in Cuiabá. The development of the methodology of this work involved two phases: survey (microclimate) and simulation. The microclimate survey was conducted through a mobile transect, for the periods of January 2014 to March 2014 (hot/wet) and July 2015 to September 2015 (hot/dry). The simulation was developed using ENVI-met® software during these two periods of the year. Generally maximizing the parameters, the ENVI-met® model for microclimate varied in the presence of too much vegetation. Simulations showed an increase in temperature and relative humidity in areas not surrounding the Mãe Bonifacia City Park, and this was particularly apparent in areas laid with asphalt and concrete. Vegetated parks play an important role in how hot climate thermoregulatory agents behave in the city of Cuiabá and the surrounding region.

The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles. 

Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.

In particular, 

Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
