Call for Paper on the topic “BG2.4 Non-CO2 influences of land cover changes on climate” at EGU Vienna, Austria from 22 to 27 April, 2012. Abstracts are now being accepted for the following session at the European Geosciences Union 2012 General Assembly on BG2.4 Non-CO2 influences of land cover changes on climate.
Variations in land cover properties which accompany land use changes can affect climate. Changes in carbon stocks are used as a convenient proxy for these climate impacts, but changes in other land cover properties can also affect the climate in different ways that can amplify or diminish the effect of carbon stock changes. This session will be open to presentations on changes in albedo, latent heat transfer and other mechanisms through which land cover changes affect climate at regional to global scales.
Abstract Submission Deadline: Monday, 17 January 2012
