Abstract EN
Land use/cover change (LUCC) has become one of the most important factors for the global climate change.
As one of the major types of LUCC, cultivated land reclamation also has impacts on regional climate change.
Most of the previous studies focused on the correlation and simulation analysis of historical LUCC and climate change, with few explorations for the impacts of future LUCC on regional climate, especially impacts of the cultivated land reclamation.
This study used the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to forecast the changes of energy flux and temperature based on the future cultivated land reclamation in India and then analyzed the impacts of cultivated land reclamation on climate change.
The results show that cultivated land reclamation will lead to a large amount of land conversions, which will overall result in the increase in latent heat flux of regional surface as well as the decrease in sensible heat flux and further lead to changes of regional average temperature.
Furthermore, the impact on climate change is seasonally different.
The cultivated land reclamation mainly leads to a temperature decrease in the summer, while it leads to a temperature increase in the winter.
