Effects of vegetation feedback on future climate change over West

The pioneering work by Charney (1975) argued that reduction of vegetation in Sahel could lead to an increase of albedo and decrease of precipitation, which could then trigger a positive feedback with the drought in this region. The reduction of precipitation caused by vegetation degradation was supp ...
