Influence of Land-Use Changes on the Climate of a Swiss Region

Land use change (LUC)

How large were the changes in local and possibly regional climate due to the documented historical land-use and land-cover changes of the leveeing (Jura-Gewässerkorrektionen) in the three-lakes region of Switzerland, and how far did the influence extend beyond the area of direct land transformation?
