This article summarizes the changes in landscape structure because of human land
management over the last several centuries, and using observed and modeled data …

Executive summary Land and climate interact in complex ways through changes in forcing
and multiple biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks across different spatial and …

The US National Research Council (NRC, 2005) recommended the expansion of the climate
change issue to include land use and land-cover processes as an important climate forcing …

In order to estimate the effect of historical land cover change (deforestation) on climate, we
perform a set of experiments with a climate system model of intermediate complexity …

Anthropogenic changes to land cover (LCC) remain common, but continuing land scarcity
promotes the widespread intensification of land management changes (LMC) to better …

Land cover changes (LCCs) play an important role in the climate system. Research over
recent decades highlights the impacts of these changes on atmospheric temperature …

I have used a high-resolution nested climate modeling system to test the sensitivity of
regional and local climate to the modern non-urban land cover distribution of the continental …

Change and variability in land use by humans and the resulting alterations in surface
features are major but poorly recognized drivers of long-term global climate patterns (1, 2) …

This study examines the impact of historical land-cover change on North American surface
climate, focusing on the robustness of the climate signal with respect to representation of …

Predictions of climate change suggest major changes in temperature, rainfall as well as in
frequency and timing of extreme weather, all in varying degrees and patterns around the …
