GMD – Afforestation impact on temperature in regional …

Abstract. In the context of the first phase of the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment in the domain (EURO-CORDEX) flagship plot study on Land Use and Climate Across Scales (LUCAS), we investigate the biophysical impact of afforestation on the seasonal cycle of temperature over the continent with an ensemble of 10 regional climate models.
