Land surface temperature (LST) is a crucial parameter that reflects land–atmosphere
interaction and has thus attracted wide interest from geoscientists. Owing to the rapid …

Abstract Purpose of Review As demand for food and fiber, but also for negative emissions,
brings most of the Earth's land surface under management, we aim to consolidate the …

Vegetation change can alter surface energy balance and subsequently affect the local
climate. This biophysical impact has been well studied for forestation cases, but the sign and …

Urban heat islands (UHIs) exacerbate the risk of heat-related mortality associated with
global climate change. The intensity of UHIs varies with population size and mean annual …

The biophysical effects of forests on climate have been extensively studied with climate
models. However, models cannot accurately reproduce local climate effects due to their …

Following a land cover and land management change (LCMC), local surface temperature
responds to both a change in available energy and a change in the way energy is …

Anthropogenic changes to land cover (LCC) remain common, but continuing land scarcity
promotes the widespread intensification of land management changes (LMC) to better …

AmeriFlux scientists were early adopters of a network-enabled approach to ecosystem
science that continues to transform the study of land-atmosphere interactions. In the 20 …

Deforestation in mid-to high latitudes is hypothesized to have the potential to cool the Earth's
surface by altering biophysical processes,,. In climate models of continental-scale land …

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 …
