Deforestation reduces microclimate buffering of African montane forests

Between 2003 and 2022, montane forests in Africa saw a 2–9% decrease, resulting in higher microclimate air temperatures and a reduction in microclimate buffering capacity, according to analysis of changes in temperature buffering capacity due to forest loss.

Deforestation amplifies climate change effects on warming and cloud level rise in African montane forests

The authors show that recent deforestation induced more warming and cloud level rise than that caused by climate change, threatening biodiversity and water supply in African montane forests.

High aboveground carbon stock of African tropical montane forests

The aboveground carbon stock of a montane African forest network is comparable to that of a lowland African forest network and two-thirds higher than default values for these montane forests.

Natural forest regeneration is projected to reduce local temperatures

Natural forest regenerations reduce mean land surface temperature across potentially restorable areas in the Boreal, Mediterranean, Temperate, and Tropical regions according to an analysis that combines climate data, machine learning, and scenario analysis.
