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.
