What to plant and where to plant it; Modeling the biophysical effects of North America temperate forests on climate using the Community Earth System Model

Forests affect climate by absorbing CO₂ but also by altering albedo, latent heat flux, and sensible heat flux. In this study we used the Community Earth System Model to assess the biophysical effect of North American temperate forests on climate and how this effect changes with location, tree type,...
