The atmospheric CO growth rate (CGR) variability is largely controlled by tropical temperature fluctuations. The sensitivity of CGR to tropical temperature has strongly increased since 1960, but here we show that this trend has ceased. [...]

Tropical savannas comprise mixed woodland grassland ecosystems in which trees and grasses compete for water resources thereby maintaining the spatial structuring of this ecosystem. A global change in rainfall climatology may impact the structure of tropical savanna ecosystems by favouring woody plants, relative to herbaceous vegetation. [...]

16 p, 121.8 KB Human population growth offsets climate-driven increase in woody vegetation in sub-Saharan Africa / Brandt, Martin (University of Copenhagen. Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management) ; Rasmussen, Kjeld (University of Copenhagen.

The rapidly growing human population in sub-Saharan Africa generates increasing demand for agricultural land and forest products which presumably leads to deforestation. Conversely, a greening of African drylands has been reported, but this has been difficult to associate with changes in woody vegetation. [...]
