Response to Comment on "Satellites reveal contrasting responses of regional climate to the widespread greening of Earth".

Abstract

Li <i>et al</i> contest the idea that vegetation greening has contributed to boreal warming and argue that the sensitivity of temperature to leaf area index (LAI) is instead likely driven by the climate impact on vegetation. We provide additional evidence that the LAI-climate interplay is indeed largely driven by the vegetation impact on temperature and not vice versa, thus corroborating our original conclusions.
