Land use change impacts on European heat and drought: remote land-atmosphere feedbacks mitigated locally by shallow groundwater

Heat and drought are projected to increase globally but may be mitigated or exacerbated by land use/land cover (LULC) change. Here, we show that remote land-atmosphere feedbacks caused by historical European LULC change led to widespread changes in the energy and water balances, drought, and heat. U...
