Green spaces significantly to a of soil and aerial temperatures during spells of hot weather, so contributing to human wellbeing. In the garden , there is, however, little information as to what extent various types of plants in their cooling potential and how certain planting combinations may maximize cooling under a scenario of rainfall and minimal water inputs.

Meaning: 'Contribute' means to give or add to something, in this case, the positive impact on temperature reduction.
Wrong options:
