Contrasting influences of biogeophysical and biogeochemical | ResearchBunny

Abstract

This study investigates the contrasting economic impacts of biogeophysical (BGP) and biogeochemical (BGC) effects of historical land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) on global economic inequality. Using multi-model simulations from CMIP6, the authors find that the combined effects of BGP and BGC impacts on annual mean surface air temperature (SAT) and day-to-day SAT variability exacerbate global economic inequality, harming developing economies in warm climates while benefiting developed economies in cold climates.
