Climate change, phenology, and phenological control of vegetation feedbacks to the climate system (2013, background): “Thus albedo plays a critical role in the surface energy budget and is a direct feedback of vegetation to the climate system (Pitman, 2003; Bala et al., 2007; Bonan, 2008).”
Site-specific global warming potentials of biogenic CO2 for bioenergy: contributions from carbon fluxes and albedo dynamics (2012, background): “Changes in surface albedo occur after biomass harvest (especially forests), when the solar reflective property of the surface is perturbed, and are of significance in regions affected by seasonal snow cover [36, 37, 60].”
Observed increase in local cooling effect of deforestation at higher latitudes (2011, background): “ppt"/> Deforestation in mid- to high latitudes is hypothesized to have the potential to cool the Earth’s surface by altering biophysical processe”
Designing forest biodiversity experiments: general considerations illustrated by a new large experiment in subtropical China (2014, background): “…services such as carbon storage, climate regulation, water ﬁltration or erosion control at the global scale (Durieux, Machado & Laurent 2003; Bala et al. 2007; Quijas et al. 2012), it is important to test whether the results obtained for the simpler systems of smaller and short-lived…”
Satellite observations of high northern latitude vegetation productivity changes between 1982 and 2008: ecological variability and regional differences (2011, background): “…carbon balance, a transition from evergreen-dominated to deciduous forest, or vice versa, would substantially alter albedo and evapotranspiration (Bala et al 2007, Bonan 2008, Shuman et al 2011) as well as profoundly alter ecological communities (Werner et al 2006, Macdonald and Fenniak 2007,…”
Biophysical effects on temperature and precipitation due to land cover change (2017, neutral): “…in the boreal zones induces a cooling dominated by the increase of albedo, with some net warming effects dominated by reduced evapotranspiration in the summer (Betts 2000, Bala et al 2007, Brovkin et al 2013a, Davin and de Noblet-Ducoudré 2010, Schwaiger and Bird 2010, De Wit et al 2014).”
Increasing Drought Sensitivity and Decline of Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica) in the Moroccan Middle Atlas Forests (2011, background): “Moreover, land-cover changes greatly influence surface energy balances and consequently climate [20,21].”
Carbon debt and carbon sequestration parity in forest bioenergy production (2012, result): “Some studies have suggested that land cover types with high albedos could yield a greater cooling to the atmosphere than temperate forests (Diffenbaugh & Sloan, 2002; Oleson et al., 2004; Bala et al., 2007) while other studies have shown the opposite (DeFries et al.”
