 This study investigates the climatic effects of four types of forest disturbances in northeastern China, including fires, insect damage, logging, anaphorostation and reforestation. The study estimates that instantaneous net radiative forcings caused by these disturbances were 0.53 to 2.23 Wm2 carat, with different mechanisms of influence on climate. Over a decade, the estimated net forcings were 2.24 to minus 0.47 Wm2 carat, providing evidence for the mechanisms of the influences of forest disturbances on climate through satellite observations.
