Carbon storage versus albedo change: radiative forcing of forest expansion in temperate mountainous regions of Switzerland
In this study, we assess the climate mitigation potential from afforestation in a mountainous snow-rich region (Switzerland) with strongly varying environmental conditions. Using radiative forcing calculations, we quantify both the carbon sequestration potential and the effect of albedo change at hi...
