The Concept Map you are trying to access has information related to:
forests when cut (deforestation) induce an increase in albedo and a decrease in absorption of SW radiation, vegetation in NIR part of spectrum has a high albedo, snow/ice in visible and NIR has a high albedo, surface in high latitudes is generally covered by snow/ice, SW radiation is strongly reflected by snow/ice, snow/ice albedo feedback occurs when an original temperature chnage affects the snow/ice albedo in such a way that it induces an adiditional surface temperature change, surface temperature change lead to climate change, absorption of SW radiation when increased or decreased induces a positive feedback, surface depending on their composition have varying surface albedo, snow/ice melting means smaller albedo and larger absorption of SW radiation, snow/ice when changing as a result of GH effect can induce a snow/ice albedo feedback, vegetation/albedo feedback occurs when an original temperature change affects the vegetation in such a way that it induces an additional surface temperature change, low albedo means large absorption of SW radiation, surface temperature change if increase will induce snow/ice melting, SW radiation is reflected by surface vegetation, surface over land is often covered by vegetation, vegetation in visible part of spectrum has a low albedo, forests on Earth are a prevailing type of vegetation, forests when growing induce an decrease in albedo and an increase in absorption of SW radiation, high albedo means small absorption of SW radiation, positive feedback will amplify an initial surface temperature change, vegetation when changing as a result of GH effect can induce vegetation/albedo feedback
