Abstract
The cooling capacity of urban green spaces constitutes a key measure for cities to mitigate heat events, which is gaining importance in climate change adaptation and mitigation. In this protocol article, we present details on two field campaigns aiming at collecting dense air temperature data in two urban inner city parks in Leipzig, Germany, under unprecedented heat and drought conditions. We introduce all the steps required to plan and conduct qualified fieldwork in environmental research, including study design, technical and logistical preparations, on-site work and data management steps from data acquisition, transfer into research outcomes to dissemination. We further share valuable lessons learned before, during and after fieldwork that helped us improve our work and that could support and improve similar future project campaigns.

N1 - Funding Information: All fieldwork was carried out in the course of the research project ‘Environmental-health Interactions in Cities (GreenEquityHEALTH) – Challenges for Human Well-being under Global Changes’ (2017–2022) funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), funding code: 01LN1705A. We thank Jan Hemmerling (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin), Thomas Korff, Helko Kotas and Marco Pohle (all Helmholtz Centre of Environmental Research – UFZ, Leipzig, Department of Monitoring and Exploration Technologies) for providing technical support and advise during fieldwork. We thank the City of Leipzig, Department for Urban Green and Waters, for supporting the project. We are grateful to Henrique Pereira and Florian Wolf (both German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv), Leipzig) for providing data loggers and for technical support.
