Improved soil moisture and vegetation could boost rainfall and cool climate

THE INFLUENCE OF THE INITIAL SOIL MOISTURE AND VEGETATION COVER ON THE SHORT-TERM CLIMATE
Ali M. El-Sayed Yousef

Paper Summary

The initial soil moisture and vegetation cover affect short-term climate. A model was used to study this. Changes in soil moisture and vegetation impact air temperature, evaporation, and rainfall. Energy distribution on the ground is influenced by these factors. More moisture and vegetation lead to increased precipitation in certain areas.
