This research compares UrbanVPRM and SMUrF for urban biogenic fluxes in Toronto, indicating significant carbon impacts.

The UrbanVPRM and SMUrF models showed substantial improvements in net ecosystem exchange estimates during spring and summer.
Adjustments to the models led to better agreement with eddy-covariance flux tower observations in Toronto.
Biogenic fluxes in urban areas significantly influence local carbon budgets, especially during summer afternoons.
Discrepancies between models remain, likely due to differing driving variables affecting emissions estimates.

Madsen et al. (2025) studied this question.
