Tower, ground-based and satellite observations indicate that tropical deforestation results in
warmer, drier conditions at the local scale. Understanding the regional or global impacts of …

This article summarizes the changes in landscape structure because of human land
management over the last several centuries, and using observed and modeled data …

Land surface processes modulate the severity of heat waves, droughts, and other extreme
events. However, models show contrasting effects of land surface changes on extreme …

Land cover changes (LCCs) play an important role in the climate system. Research over
recent decades highlights the impacts of these changes on atmospheric temperature …

Anthropogenic land cover changes (LCC) affect regional and global climate through
biophysical variations of the surface energy budget mediated by albedo, evapotranspiration …

The water cycle over the Amazon basin is a regulatory mechanism for regional and global
climate. The atmospheric moisture evaporated from this basin represents an important …

Effect of Anthropogenic Land-Use and Land-Cover Changes on Climate and Land Carbon
Storage in CMIP5 Projections for the Twenty-First Century in: Journal of Climate Volume 26 Issue …

Seven climate models were used to explore the biogeophysical impacts of human‐induced
land cover change (LCC) at regional and global scales. The imposed LCC led to statistically …

Vegetation modifies land-surface properties, mediating the exchange of energy, moisture,
trace gases, and aerosols between the land and the atmosphere. These exchanges …

To resolve a series of ecological and environmental problems over the Loess Plateau, the
“Grain for Green Program”(GFGP) was initiated at the end of 1990s. Following the …
