Regional water cycle sensitivity to afforestation: synthetic numerical experiments for tropical Africa

Afforestation as a climate change mitigation option has been the subject of intense debate and study over the last few decades, particularly in the tropics where agricultural activity is expanding. However, the impact of such landcover changes on the surface energy budget, temperature, and precipita...
