In the past two decades, numerical studies have shown that surface properties controlled in part by vegetation (e.g., albedo, soil moisture, and surface roughness) can affect climate. These studies, however, focus on drastic variations at the land surface. Still unclear is whether typical interannual variations in vegetation density have a detectable impact on interannual climate variability.
We investigated the degree to which the observed interannual variability of vegetation phenology affects hydrological fluxes over land through a series of offline and online simulations with the Mosaic land surface model. First, we constructed an idealized offline experiment …
