    Abstract

    Deforestation may result in rapid positive environmental feedbacks because of the large energies inherent in the climate system, eg soils are eroded and fertility declines. This study considers the different results of climate models with varying degrees of sophistication. Improvements in hydrological and land surface parameterizations in climate models are necessary in order to obtain a more coherent picture of possible environmental impact.-from Authors
