Deforestation Induced Climate Change: Effects of Spatial Scale
Deforestation is associated with increased atmospheric CO2 and alterations to the surface energy and mass balances that can lead to local and global climate changes. Previous modelling studies show that the global surface air temperature (SAT) response to deforestation depends on latitude, with most simulations showing that high latitude deforestation results in cooling, low latitude deforestat...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Impacts of Large-Scale Climate Variability on the Global Carbon Cycle
Recap of project goals The principle goal of the research project is to bring together scientists with seemingly disparate expertise to systematically develop and test hypotheses regarding the impact of large scale climate variability on the carbon cycle. The research is largely focused on the dominant patterns of hemispheric scale variability, the so-called Northern and Southern Hemisphere ann...
متن کاملTropical forests and the global carbon cycle: impacts of atmospheric carbon dioxide, climate change and rate of deforestation.
The remaining carbon stocks in wet tropical forests are currently at risk because of anthropogenic deforestation, but also because of the possibility of release driven by climate change. To identify the relative roles of CO2 increase, changing temperature and rainfall, and deforestation in the future, and the magnitude of their impact on atmospheric CO2 concentrations, we have applied a dynamic...
متن کاملClimate and the carbon cycle
From bees to honey Neonicotinoid pesticides are applied globally. Concern about their impacts has been increasing as evidence for negative effects on bee health and persistence has accumulated. Mitchell et al. looked at the prevalence of these pesticides in honey from across the world and found traces in the majority of samples tested (see the Perspective by Connolly). The neonicotinoid compoun...
متن کاملCan bioenergy cropping compensate high carbon emissions from large-scale deforestation of high latitudes?
Numerous studies have concluded that deforestation of the high latitudes result in a global cooling. This is mainly because of the increased albedo of deforested land which dominates over other biogeophysical and biogeochemical mechanisms in the energy balance. This dominance, however, may be due to an underestimation of the biogeochemical response, as carbon emissions are typically at or below...
