In a 6-sentence article about urban trees, the author claims that street trees measurably reduce summer heat on city blocks. The author cites a university field study that compared two similar streets and found that at 3 p.m. on clear July days, the tree-lined block averaged 7°F cooler at sidewalk level than the block with sparse canopy. The author also notes that residents on the cooler block reported lower air-conditioning use, and the author references satellite imagery showing higher surface temperatures over large parking lots. The article ends by urging the city to prioritize canopy in heat-vulnerable neighborhoods. Which of the following does the author use as evidence for the claim that street trees measurably reduce summer heat on city blocks?
