Restoring tree cover changes albedo, which is the fraction of sunlight reflected from the
Earth's surface. In most locations, these changes in albedo offset or even negate the carbon …

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

Alongside the steep reductions needed in fossil fuel emissions, natural climate solutions
(NCS) represent readily deployable options that can contribute to Canada's goals for …

The direct biophysical effects of fine-scale tree cover changes on temperature are not well
understood. Here, we show how land surface temperature responds to subgrid gross tree …

Forestation of the vast global drylands has been considered a promising climate change
mitigation strategy. However, its actual climatic benefits are uncertain because the forests' …

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 land use/land cover (LULC) change alters terrestrial gross primary
productivity (GPP), the largest land‐atmosphere carbon exchanges. Identifying the impacts …

Reforestation and afforestation is expected to achieve a quarter of all emission reduction
pledged under the Paris Agreement. Trees store carbon in biomass and soil but also alter …

Remote sensing time series research and applications are advancing rapidly in land, ocean,
and atmosphere science, demonstrating emerging capabilities in space-based monitoring …

Afforestation greatly influences several earth system processes, making it essential to
understand these effects to accurately assess its potential for climate change mitigation …
