From: Large-scale semi-arid afforestation can enhance precipitation and carbon sequestration potential

Schematic diagram for the sequence of processes underlying the increase in precipitation over the Sahel/N-Aust, as a consequence of land cover change from low-level vegetation to large-scale afforestation system. The starting point is the increased root depth associated with afforestation, and the associated increased in soil water mining. Red and blue colors indicate increase or decrease values, respectively.
