| Description: |
Considerable evidence from both modelling and empirical studies indicates that tropical deforestation on many scales influences local, regional, and even global climate. Deforestation-driven changes to water availability and climate variability could have strong implications for agricultural production systems and food security in some regions. The authors of this journal paper review the impacts of tropical deforestation on climate in the three major tropical regions at spatial scales from local to global, and consider the implications for agriculture.
