Abstract: The article focuses on potential feedback mechanism regarding land use and climate change. It states that potential regional feedbacks were explored in four hot-spots including the Amazon Basin, sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and Europe. It mentions that in Amazon, drought events can lead to further reduction of rainfall when the recycling processes of water are affected.
