Estimation of different forest-related contributions to the radiative balance using observations in southern Finland
The effect of boreal forest on the Earth's energy budget was estimated in field conditions in Hyytiälä, southern Finland. The indirect aerosol effect due to new particle formation, the effect of forest carbon sequestration and the effect of forestation- or deforestation-related albedo change we...
