abstract = "Context Vegetation is projected to continue to undergo major
structural changes in coming decades due to land conversion and
climate change, including widespread forest die-offs. These
vegetation changes are important not only for their local or
regional climatic effects, but also because they can affect
climate and subsequently vegetation in other regions or continents
through ecoclimate teleconnections. Objectives We propose that
ecoclimate teleconnections are a fundamental link among regions
within and across continents, and are central to advancing
largescale macrosystems ecology. Methods and results We illustrate
potential ecoclimate teleconnections in a bounding simulation that
assumes complete tree cover loss in western North America due to
tree die-off, and which predicts subsequent drying and reduced net
primary productivity in other areas of North America, the Amazon
and elsewhere. Central to accurately modeling such ecoclimate
teleconnections is characterizing how vegetation change alters
albedo and other components of the land-surface energy balance and
then scales up to impact the climate system. We introduce a
framework for rapid field-based characterization of vegetation
structure and energy balance to help address this challenge.
Conclusions Ecoclimate teleconnections are likely a fundamental
aspect of macrosystems ecology needed to account for alterations
to large-scale atmosphericecological couplings in response to
vegetation change, including deforestation, afforestation and
die-off.",
