Not exact matches

Vegetation growth enhances heat transfer and increases the height of Earth's boundary layer, the lowest part of the atmosphere that is highly responsive to surface radiation.

Research conducted by Jin - Soo Kim and Professor Jong - Seong Kug from the Division of Environmental Science and Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), in collaboration with Professor Su - Jong Jeong from the School of Environmental Science and Engineering at South University of Science and Technology of China, has shown that the warmer Arctic has triggered cooler winters and springs in North America, which has in turn weakened vegetation growth and lowered carbon uptake capacity in its ecosystems.

Two of Fraser Island's unique features are its diversity of vegetation and its ability to sustain this vegetation in sand, a soil that is notoriously low in nutrients essential to plant growth.

During a period of rapid population growth, a lower heat capacity due to drying out of the soil and lost vegetation, and an increase in heat retaining surfaces, then homogenization more often amplifies those warming effects that is not indicative of climate change.

The remaining slow drift to lower GMT and pCO2 over glacial time, punctuated by higher - frequency variability and the dust − climate feedbacks, may reflect the consequences of the growth of continental ice sheets via albedo increases (also from vegetation changes) and increased CO2 dissolution in the ocean from cooling.
