Future Impacts of the Reforestation Policy on the amospheric parameters: a sensitivity study over Ireland

Future impacts of the reforestation policy on the atmospheric parameters in Ireland: a sensitivity study including heat discomfort impacts on humans and livestock

“…The impact of climate change on the land use has been well studied [10] [11] [12][13] [14]; an example being the forced migration of crop species in Europe due to variation in both temperature and precipitation patterns [12].
