Vegetation-based climate mitigation in a warmer and greener World

R. Alkama, G. Forzieri, et al.

Explore how vegetation could play a pivotal role in combating land warming by up to 0.71±0.40 °C by 2100, as revealed in this fascinating study by Ramdane Alkama, Giovanni Forzieri, Gregory Duveiller, Giacomo Grassi, Shunlin Liang, and Alessandro Cescatti. The research underscores the significance of carbon sequestration and its enhanced impact under stringent emission scenarios.

Abstract
This study investigates the mitigation potential of vegetation-driven biophysical effects on land warming under various climate change scenarios. Using an ensemble of remote sensing datasets, the authors estimate temperature sensitivities to leaf area changes (2003-2014) and predict future temperature changes. Results indicate that by 2100, under a high-emission scenario, greening will mitigate land warming by 0.71±0.40 °C, primarily due to increased carbon sequestration. The potential for vegetation to reduce future land warming is significantly higher under stringent emission scenarios.
