1 | As a result, we have more agriculture, more vegetation and more precipitation in these areas. | |
2 | The vegetation index is a reflection of photosynthesis. | |
3 | The greenhouse-like environment also provides for lush vegetation to help with air quality and provide food sources. | |
4 | The belt of vegetation that crosses Africa below the Sahara is very dark because most of the sunlight is absorbed by plants for photosynthesis. | |
5 | And without the cover of vegetation, land becomes more reflective, heating up the air above it, and potentially contributing to global warming. |
