BACKGROUND Forest dynamics arise from the interplay of chronic drivers and transient
disturbances with the demographic processes of recruitment, growth, and mortality. The …

Globally, thermodynamics explains an increase in atmospheric water vapor with warming of
around 7%/° C near to the surface. In contrast, global precipitation and evaporation are …

Executive summary Land and climate interact in complex ways through changes in forcing
and multiple biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks across different spatial and …

For half a century, the process of economic integration of the Amazon has been based on
intensive use of renewable and nonrenewable natural resources, which has brought …

Land–atmosphere (LA) interactions are a main driver of Earth's surface water and energy
budgets; as such, they modulate near-surface climate, including clouds and precipitation …

Reduced rainfall increases the risk of forest dieback, while in return forest loss might
intensify regional droughts. The consequences of this vegetation–atmosphere feedback for …

Land surface temperature (LST) is an important parameter for the biosphere, cryosphere,
and climate change studies. In this study, we estimate LST, NDMI, and NDWI over the Ravi …

Studies have shown that land and climate interact in complex ways through multiple
biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks. In this interaction mechanism, the carbon …

Land-cover changes can affect the climate by altering the water and energy balance of the
land surface. Numerous modelling studies have indicated that alterations at the land surface …

Climate change and its effects on the hydrologic regime of the Amazon basin can impact
biogeochemical processes, transportation, flood vulnerability, fisheries and hydropower …
