Global Hydroclimatological Teleconnections Resulting from Tropical Deforestation

摘要: Abstract Past studies have indicated that deforestation of the Amazon basin would result in an important rainfall decrease region but this process had no significant impact on global temperature or precipitation and only local implications. Here it is shown tropical regions significantly affects at mid- high latitudes through hydrometeorological teleconnections. In particular, found Amazonia Central Africa severely reduces lower U.S. Midwest during spring summer seasons upper winter spring, respectively, when water crucial for agricultural productivity these regions. Deforestation Southeast Asia China Balkan Peninsula most significantly. On other hand, elimination any forests considerably enhances southern tip Arabian Peninsula. The combined effect ...
