Contrasting influences of biogeophysical and biogeochemical impacts of historical land use on global economic inequality

S. Liu, Y. Wang, et al.

This groundbreaking study by Shu Liu, Yong Wang, Guang J. Zhang, Linyi Wei, Bin Wang, and Le Yu explores how historical land-use changes impact global economic inequality. The research reveals that biogeophysical and biogeochemical effects exacerbate disparities, adversely affecting developing nations in warmer regions while benefiting developed countries in cooler climates.

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.
