Forest loss in Brazil increases maximum temperatures within 50 km

Forest loss in Brazil increases maximum temperatures within 50 km

Forest cover loss in the tropics is well known to cause warming at deforested sites, with maximum temperatures being particularly sensitive. Forest loss causes warming by altering local energy balance and surface roughness, local changes that can propagate across a wide range of spatial scales. Cons...
