aA heat anomaly was defined as neighborhoods that were 1.25 degrees above average temperatures for the urbanized area.
b"Adequate tree cover" is calculated based on comparing existing tree canopy to tree canopy targets that are scaled to ecoregions (forest, grassland, desert) and population density.
c"Number of the trees needed" is estimated based on the number of new 600ft2 trees (based on a medium-sized deciduous tree) needed to achieve adequate tree cover in all neighborhoods.
