34 Land Cover and Climate Dynamics Vegetation dynamics is an important component in the climate system. Presumably, the terrestrial biosphere amplifies external climate forcing: - Saharan dynamics - Holocene wintertime warming (?) - Glacial cooling (?) At high latitudes (with vegetation-snow albedo feedback) biogeophysical feedback seems to dominate biogeochemical feedback, in the tropics biogeochemical feedback seems to win. Thank you very much for attention! Claussen, Climate of the Past, 2009
