Forest summer albedo is sensitive to species and thinning: how should we account for this in Earth system models?

Although forest management is one of the instruments proposed to mitigate climate change, the relationship between forest management and canopy albedo has been ignored so far by climate models. Here we develop an approach that could be implemented in Earth system models. A stand-level forest gap mod...
