Abstract
Calculations with a numerical model of the atmosphere show that the global fields of rainfall, temperature, and motion strongly depend on the land- surface evapotranspiration. This confirms the long-held idea that the surface vegetation, which produces the evapotransporation, is an important factor in the earth's climate.Year: 1982 PMID: 17788673 DOI: 10.1126/science.215.4539.1498
