In snow free areas, the ground reflects 2.2% more sunlight, causing colling effect.

🔆 Key Takeaways: Subtle Vegetation Shifts Made Earth Brighter and Cooler

Satellite data (2001-20) shows snow-free areas reflect 2.2% more sunlight, causing a cooling effect.
Increased brightness mainly due to drying grasses and shrubs replacing darker plants.
These subtle shifts caused 3.9-8.1 times more cooling than land-use changes.
Shrublands and short natural vegetation are the biggest contributors.
Shrinking snow cover accounts for only 14% of the cooling effect.
