Land cover both responds to the climate and affects the climate, and these interactions are a major focus of the IGBP core project Integrated Land Ecosystem Atmospheric Processes Study (iLEAPS). Changes in land cover are now recognized as a factor that has contributed to changes in climate on all scales from local to regional and even global. This symposium invites papers on the full range of topics relating to the interactions of changes in land cover and condition and in climate, including changes relating to deforestation, agriculture, and other development; feedbacks relating to albedo, roughness, carbon storage and fertilization, trace gas fluxes, and other biogeochemical cycles; and impacts relating to ecosystem shifts, melting of permafrost, and water resources and soil moisture.
