Adapting observationally based metrics of biogeophysical feedbacks from land cover/land use change to climate modeling

To assess the biogeophysical impacts of land cover/land use change (LCLUC) on surface temperature, two observation-based metrics and their applicability in climate modeling were explored in this study. Both metrics were developed based on the surface energy balance, and provided insight into the con...
