Combined climate and carbon-cycle effects of large-scale deforestation
"We find that global-scale deforestation has a net cooling influence on Earth's climate, because the warming carbon-cycle effects of deforestation are overwhelmed by the net cooling associated with changes in albedo and evapotranspiration."

"Atmospheric CO₂ content is greater in the Global deforestation experiment by 381 ppmv because of both the release of carbon stored in trees in the early 21st century and the loss of CO₂ fertilization of forested ecosystems seen in the Standard simulation (Fig. 1)"
