This study quantified the role of different species of trees in mitigation the microclimate in the central area of Campo Grande - MS by evaluating the contribution of urban trees on the thermal comfort of the public space of the city. The city of Campo Grande presents a tropical climate with a dry season, characteristic of the Brazilian Cerrado, and point tree species able to qualify the landscape and soften the urban microclimate becomes important. This work aimed to evaluate the improvement of thermal comfort achieved with the mitigation of solar radiation characterized by differences presented in the surface temperatures of streets and sidewalks under the influence of mature trees of the species used in forestry over the downtown area. For so, measurements were made with a thermometer in the shade and near surroundings of twelve species existing on sidewalks. The results indicated the size, in relation to thermal comfort, a species is presenting to others and allowed a projection of the alleviation of heat in the urban enclosure, which can help in decision making for planning and landscape design in the city.
