Short summary
Land use impacts climate through changes in atmospheric composition but the relative importance of various pathways is uncertain. We use a model to separate the forcing from pre-industrial to present-day land use change into contributions from various greenhouse gases, aerosol effects, and surface albedo change. The inclusion of updated processes highlights the role of changes in cloud properties. The carbon dioxide forcing dominates, but other processes have substantial regional impacts.
