Temperature Response to Changes in Vegetation Fraction Cover in a Regional Climate Model

Vegetation plays a key role in partitioning energy at the surface. Meteorological and Climate Models, both global and regional, implement vegetation using two parameters, the vegetation fraction and the leaf area index, obtained from satellite data. In most cases, models use average values for a giv...
