Abstract

A study shows that regional atmospheric change driven by land-cover change contributes little to glacier mass loss on Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro. More generally, this finding suggests that local land-cover change may have limited impact on mountain glaciers in the tropics and elsewhere, compared with that of global climate change.
