Late Quaternary vegetation-climate feedbacks [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2009 Feedbacks between vegetation and other components of the climate system are discussed with respect to their influence on climate dynamics during the late Quaternary, i.e., the last glacial-interglacial cycles.

Vegetation-climate feedbacks across scales. [PDF]
Ann N Y Acad SciAbstract Vegetation is often viewed as a consequence of long‐term climate conditions. However, vegetation itself plays a fundamental role in shaping Earth's climate by regulating the energy, water, and biogeochemical cycles across terrestrial landscapes.

Biogeophysical feedbacks trigger shifts in the modelled vegetation-atmosphere system at multiple scales [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2010 Terrestrial vegetation influences climate by modifying the radiative-, momentum-, and hydrologic-balance. This paper contributes to the ongoing debate on the question whether positive biogeophysical feedbacks between vegetation and climate may lead to ...

Robustness of Gaian feedbacks to climate perturbations [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT The Gaia hypothesis postulates that life regulates its environment to be favorable for its own survival. Most planets experience numerous perturbations throughout their lifetimes such as asteroid impacts, volcanism, and the evolution of their host star’s luminosity. For the Gaia hypothesis to be viable, life must be able to keep

ESD Reviews: Climate feedbacks in the Earth system and prospects for their evaluation [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2019 Earth system models (ESMs) are key tools for providing climate projections under different scenarios of human-induced forcing. ESMs include a large number of additional processes and feedbacks such as biogeochemical cycles that traditional physical ...

Arctic amplification of climate change: a review of underlying mechanisms
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 Arctic amplification (AA)—referring to the enhancement of near-surface air temperature change over the Arctic relative to lower latitudes—is a prominent feature of climate change with important impacts on human and natural systems.

How Are Feedbacks Represented in Land Models?
Land, 2016 Land systems are characterised by many feedbacks that can result in complex system behaviour. We defined feedbacks as the two-way influences between the land use system and a related system (e.g., climate, soils and markets), both of which are ...

Climate-driven chemistry and aerosol feedbacks in CMIP6 Earth system models [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 Feedbacks play a fundamental role in determining the magnitude of the response of the climate system to external forcing, such as from anthropogenic emissions.

Constraining net long-term climate feedback from satellite-observed internal variability possible by the mid-2030s [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsObserving climate feedbacks to long-term global warming, which are crucial climate regulators, is not feasible within the observational record. However, linking them to top-of-the-atmosphere flux variations in response to natural surface temperature ...
