Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- Sustaining such benefits over time, however, requires ongoing investment in watering and pest control, since young urban trees are far more likely to die from neglect than from age.
- Measurements taken in cities that expanded their tree cover show summer afternoon temperatures dropping by several degrees in the shaded areas compared to open, treeless streets.
- Tree canopies block direct sunlight from reaching pavement while also releasing moisture through their leaves, a cooling process known as transpiration.
- Urban planners have found that planting rows of shade trees along streets and in public squares can meaningfully counteract this so-called heat island effect.
- Paved surfaces and concrete buildings absorb sunlight throughout the day and release it as heat well into the evening, making many city centers noticeably hotter than surrounding rural areas.
