Measuring the control of landscape modifications on surface temperature in India

This study highlights the land use/land cover change, and its implications on long-term changes in various hydrometeorological parameters India during 2001–2018. The exhibited a decrease grassland (15.1%), barren (10.2%), shrubland (9.5%) contrast to an increase deciduous broadleaf forest (27.4%) croplands (25.2%) India. 31.7% of geographical area observed low warming (<0.8 °C), 52.1% cooling (> ?0.8 °C) over observation period. transformation (a) cropland (Western India) (b) cropland, (Central led effects.
