iLEAPS - (Land Ecosystem-Atmosphere Processes Study)
Feedbacks between processes that take place between the land surface and the physical and chemical components of the climate system have received increasing attention in recent years. The most widely known example is probably the vegetation feedback on atmospheric CO2 concentration (and hence climate) in fully coupled vegetation-carbon cycle-climate ...
