University of Gothenburg Deforestation is happening over tropical mountainous regions, giving space for agriculture to expand. This changes the land surface properties through altered evapotranspiration and albedo which affect the radiation balance of the surface, thereby changing the local climate. However, these biophysical changes and their impact on climate have not be considered in the state-of-the-art climate models so far and remain unknown.
An international research team from China, USA, Thailand, France, Singapore, Korea, Japan, UK, and Sweden including Prof. Deliang Chen, Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Gothenburg, have investigated how the biophysical processes works in tropical mountainous areas in the world by integrating satellite-observed forest cover changes into a high-resolution land-atmosphere coupled model.
