The focus of this work is to understand how future projected deforestation of the Amazon forest will likely impact temperature, moisture transport and precipitation over South America.
Our work will help inform policy makers of possible continental-scale consequences of deforestation by advancing our understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms.
