Research description/interests:
Afforestation/reforestation carried out on a globally significant scale can increase or decrease precipitation, evapotranspiration, cloud cover, surface runoff, soil moisture, and groundwater flow. This carbon dioxide removal method also has the potential to influence drought and flooding. My research aims to quantify the impact of afforestation/reforestation on the water cycle to the end of the 21st century.
