“…Albedo is a vital indicator of energy partitioning because it reflects solar energy absorbed by a land surface (e.g., grasslands, forest, or urban lands) and then converted to heat, versus the amount reflected back to space with no warming impact (Ollinger et al, 2008). Theoretically, if more solar radiation is reflected back to space, the global climate is cooled-raising the potential for contributing to climate change mitigation through land surface management (Bright et al, 2012;Carrer et al, 2018Carrer et al, , 2021Muñoz & Kravchenko, 2011;Ouyang et al, 2022). Spatial and temporal changes in albedo have been closely explored, as albedo not only directly affects climate warming and cooling (Campbell & Norman, 2012) but also indirectly affects changes in evaporation and transpiration, and also local climate through its impact on surface energy fluxes and the hydrologic cycle (Akbari et al, 2009;Cherubini et al, 2012;Pachauri et al, 2014).…”
