Abstract: By analyzing the vegetation structure and temperature and moisture for soil and microclimate of 29 urban green spaces in Shanghai,we found that the green spaces can sufficiently reduce the air temperature and increase the moisture,mainly due to the arbor coverage of green spaces.The correlation was found between soil moisture and herbage coverage was significant.Significant correlation was found between soil temperature and moisture within a certain range.The vegetation with multiple structures had better effect on preventing soil evaporation.
