Decrease in radiative forcing by organic aerosol nucleation, climate, and land use change, Published online: 24 January 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-08407-7

Organic nucleation is an important source of atmospheric aerosol number concentration, especially in pristine continental regions and during the preindustrial period. Here the authors find a 16% reduced radiative forcing associated with anthropogenic aerosols when including organic nucleation together with climate and land use change.
