"Other important biophysical changes alter the amount of water that evaporates or transpires from plants and the soil, the roughness or unevenness of the plant canopy, and ultimately the extent of convective clouds and rainfall."
I think the author misreads the referenced science reports, in which it seems to me they are suggesting the forest becomes less of a carbon sink as it gets warmer.
