A study by researchers from Purdue University and the universities of Colorado and Maryland concluded that greener land cover contributes to cooler temperatures, and almost any other change leads to warmer temperatures.
No surprise here........... Research from the Universities of Maryland and Colorado, in addition to Purdue University, has found that a majority of land-use changes in the continental U.S. reduce vegetative cover and raise...
A new study found that almost any change that makes land cover less “green” contributes to warming. A perhaps less intuitive finding is that conversion of any land to agricultural use results in cooling, even land that was...
