\begin{abstract}
Anthropogenic activity drives extensive tropical deforestation,
particularly in Southeast Asia where 16\% of total forest cover was lost
between 2000 and 2020. While land surface changes significantly affect
the atmosphere, their net impact on convective clouds is not
well-constrained. Here, we use satellite data to provide the first
observational evidence that long-term deforestation in Southeast Asia
robustly alters cloud properties, and that the magnitude of this
response depends on the atmospheric environment. Deforestation drives a
shift towards more widespread, shallower clouds during the daytime, with
amplified effects in dry inland areas compared with moist coastal
regions. Aerosols only weakly modulate the cloud fraction response, but
offset the cloud top height response to deforestation, suggesting the
influence of aerosol indirect effects. We conclude that the local
signature of forest loss is not uniform, and regional differences in
climatology must be considered when assessing deforestation impacts on
clouds and the climate system.%
