Interpretable rainfall modelling reveals rapid reorganisation of Amazonian rainfall under vegetation loss

ArXi:2605.10948v1 Announce Type: cross Understanding how vegetation loss alters rainfall remains a major challenge in climate and hydrological science, as deforestation modifies precipitation through heterogeneous, seasonal and nonlinear land-atmosphere feedbacks. Existing models struggle to capture these dynamics: convection is parameterised at coarse scales, tipping behaviour is poorly constrained, and rainfall-deforestation analyses are limited to multi-decadal timescales.
