Fig. 4(D) shows that the Prop_Total of AS and trees are obviously higher in the cities at higher development levels. Moreover, it is worth noting that, in the super first-tier cities, the AI of AS isrelatively low (Fig. 4(E)), whereas that of trees and grassland is high, which indicates that targeted vegetation planting has been implemented in these areas, to avoid overly dense urban construction.However, the mean LST of the developed cities is still higher than that of the other cities (Fig. 4(F)). This can be mainly attributed to the crowded population and various anthropogenicactivities that lead to high heat emissions, such as industrial production,domestic discharge, and commercial trade (Jia and Zhao,2019).The proportion of Veg (trees/grassland) and the corresponding LST along the proportion gradients of AS inside the 35 major cities are shown in Fig. 5. It can be observed that, with the increase of the proportion of AS, the proportion of trees and grassland in mostcities shows a non-linear decrease, while in some cities (e.g., CC,HH, and SJZ) a linear decline can be seen. However, for some southeast coastal cities, e.g., GZ, HK, HZ, NJ, SZ, SuZ, WX, and YT, the curve for grassland shows a slight rise in some areas that arecovered by 10e30% AS, which may be the result of urban planning and management. On the other hand, the LST of most cities (except HZ, TJ, UQ, XN) shows a linear positive relationship with the proportion of AS.
