Large-scale tropical deforestation affects regional to continental scale climates with significant impacts on forest resilience . Deforestation generally reduces rainfall and enhances temperatures, with effects depending on scales , while often increasing surface runoff . Continued deforestation-driven landscape drying and fragmentation will aggravate fire risk and reduce forest resilience, leading to degradation or savannisation of the tropical forest biomes, in particular in combination with climate change .
