Self-amplified Amazon forest loss due to vegetation-atmosphere feedbacks
Reduced rainfall increases the risk of forest dieback, while in return forest loss might intensify regional droughts. The consequences of this vegetation-atmosphere feedback for the stability of the Amazon forest are still unclear. Here we show that the risk of self-amplified Amazon forest loss increases nonlinearly with dry-season intensification. We apply a novel complex-network approach, in ...
متن کاملBiogeophysical feedbacks trigger shifts in the modelled vegetation-atmosphere system at multiple scales
Terrestrial vegetation influences climate by modifying the radiative-, momentum-, and hydrologicbalance. This paper contributes to the ongoing debate on the question whether positive biogeophysical feedbacks between vegetation and climate may lead to multiple equilibria in vegetation and climate and consequent abrupt regime shifts. Several modelling studies argue that vegetation-climate feedbac...
متن کاملThe Impact of Observed Vegetation Changes on Land–Atmosphere Feedbacks During Drought
Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)-derived vegetation fraction data were used to update the boundary conditions of the advanced research Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model to assess the influence of realistic vegetation cover on climate simulations in southeastAustralia for the period 2000–08. Results show that modeled air temperature was improved when MODIS data we...
متن کاملRainfall intermittency and vegetation feedbacks in drylands
We discuss a simplifed, conceptual model for the dynamics of the soil-vegetation system in drylands. The model considers the different dynamical processes taking place in vegetated and non-vegetated soil and it distinguishes between the upper soil layer, where rapid evaporation dominates, and the deeper root layer where only plant transpiration takes place. We explore the role of rainfall inter...
