Description:
Importance of background climate in determining impact of land-cover change on regional climate Nature Climate Change 1, 472 20112011 doi: 10.1038/nclimate1294 A. J. Pitman F. B. Avila G. Abramowitz Y. P. Wang S. J. Phipps N. de Noblet-Ducoudré Both greenhouse gas emissions and changes in land use and cover have modified the Earth’s climate since preindustrial times. A modelling study now shows that the impact of land-cover change on regional climate depends critically on how snow cover and rainfall change under increased greenhouse gases.
