One thing that I know that is related to this subject is that grass produces much less oxygen than trees and hedges. Also, trees and hedges create more cover for songbirds. Trees and hedges produce a greater cooling effect than grass does. Transpiration by trees and hedges provides a cooling effect for both land and air.
