Response of surface air temperature to small-scale land clearing across latitudes

Response of surface air temperature to small-scale land clearing across latitudes

Climate models simulating continental scale deforestation suggest a warming effect of land clearing on the surface air temperature in the tropical zone and a cooling effect in the boreal zone due to different control of biogeochemical and biophysical processes. Ongoing land-use/cover changes mostly...
