Impacts of land use and land cover change on regional climate: a case study in the agro-pastoral transitional zone of China
Assessing the impacts of land use and land cover change (LUCC) on regional climate is essential for understanding land–atmosphere interactions and for designing climate adaptation and mitigation strategies. Using the weather research and forecasting (WRF) model, we examined how different land use an...
