Regional Climate Variability Responses to Future Land Surface Forcing in the Brazilian Amazon

Figure 1

The land surface properties in Brazilian Amazon. Only forests and water bodies are shown in the land cover layer (1km×1km, USGS land cover classification). Grid cells in which forests are converted into the pasture (yellow) and woodland (darkgreen) are provided in the land surface change layer (0.5^∘×0.5^∘). The study area (red rectangle) covers most changed forest land cells.
