Global warming dominates regional effects of land-use change
Changes in snow and rain caused by global warming dominate the effects of land-use change on regional climates, according to a new international study led by Australians. The study found that land-use and land-cover changes tend to act as regional cooling mechanisms at mid to high latitudes but amplify warming in tropical regions.
