Climate change mitigation scenarios that meet the Paris Agreement's objective of limiting
global warming usually assume an important role for carbon dioxide removal and negative …

Cover crops have long been touted for their ability to reduce erosion, fix atmospheric
nitrogen, reduce nitrogen leaching, and improve soil health. In recent decades, there has …

Climate policy has thus far focused solely on carbon stocks and sequestration to evaluate
the potential of forests to mitigate global warming. These factors are used to assess the …

The replacement of natural lands with urban structures has multiple environmental
consequences, yet little is known about the magnitude and extent of albedo-induced …

The most recent IPCC assessment has shown an important role for negative emissions
technologies (NETs) in limiting global warming to 2 C cost-effectively. However, a bottom-up …

Land use and land cover (LULC) projections are critical for climate models to predict the
impacts of LULC change on the Earth system. Different assumptions and policies influence …

Changing vegetation cover alters the radiative and non-radiative properties of the surface.
The result of competing biophysical processes on Earth's surface energy balance varies …

We synthesize insights from current understanding of drought impacts at stand‐to‐
biogeographic scales, including management options, and we identify challenges to be …

As the Anthropocene advances, there are few parts of Earth that have not been impacted by
human influence. Humans have had a long-sustained interaction with grassy ecosystems …

Changes in vegetation cover associated with the observed greening may affect several
biophysical processes, whose net effects on climate are unclear. We analyzed remotely …
