Simulated sensitivity of the Amazon rainforest to extreme drought
Environmental Research LettersThe Amazon rainforest is highly biodiverse and has the largest extent of the remaining intact tropical forests in the world. To this day, undisturbed tropical forests act as a carbon sink by taking up about 15% of anthropogenic carbon emissions per year.

Evidence of localised Amazon rainforest dieback in CMIP6 models [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2022 . Amazon forest dieback is seen as a potential tipping point under climate change. These concerns are partly based on an early coupled climate–carbon cycle simulation that produced unusually strong drying and warming in Amazonia.

Amazon rainforest photosynthesis increases in response to atmospheric dryness. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2020 Models show that increasing air dryness reduces photosynthesis in the Amazon rainforest, while observations show the opposite. Earth system models predict that increases in atmospheric and soil dryness will reduce photosynthesis in the Amazon rainforest,

Pronounced loss of Amazon rainforest resilience since the early 2000s
Nature Climate Change, 2021 The resilience of the Amazon rainforest to climate and land-use change is crucial for biodiversity, regional climate and the global carbon cycle. Deforestation and climate change, via increasing dry-season length and drought frequency, may already have ...

Satellite observations of smoke–cloud–radiation interactions over the Amazon rainforest
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 . The Amazon rainforest routinely experiences intense and long-lived biomass burning events that result in smoke plumes that cover vast regions. The spatial and temporal extent of the plumes and the complex pathways through which they interact with the ...

Soil phosphorus cycling across a 100‐year deforestation chronosequence in the Amazon rainforest
Global Change Biology, 2023 Deforestation of tropical rainforests is a major land use change that alters terrestrial biogeochemical cycling at local to global scales. Deforestation and subsequent reforestation are likely to impact soil phosphorus (P) cycling, which in P‐limited ...

Remote Sensing, 2021 The Amazon rainforest plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. However, due to its structural complexity, current estimates of its carbon dynamics are very imprecise.
