The findings show that adjusting to cope with the effects of climate change could see some parts of the Amazon rainforest lose many of its largest trees. This would release the large amount of carbon stored in these trees to the air, and reduce the rainforest\u2019s immediate capacity to act as an important carbon sink, researchers say.<\/p>\n<p>Now, findings from the world\u2019s longest-running drought study in tropical rainforest have revealed some of the profound changes the Amazon could undergo in a drier world. Over a 22-year period, a one-hectare area of rainforest in north-eastern Amazonian Brazil \u2013 roughly the size of Trafalgar Square \u2013 has been subjected to long-term drought conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The team\u2019s findings show that for the seven years after the large initial biomass losses the availability of water increased for the surviving trees. Tests on these remaining trees showed they were now no more drought-stressed than those in nearby rainforest not subjected to drought. Overall, the area lost more than one-third of its total biomass \u2013 the trunks, branches, stems and roots where carbon is stored in living vegetation. Such widespread losses across the Amazon would see the rainforest release vast amounts of carbon, and greatly reduce its immediate capacity to act as a sink for emissions from human activities, the team says.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eurekalert.org\/news-releases\/1083849\">Eurek Alert!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-718\/\">Amazon could survive long-term drought but at a high cost<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,1],"tags":[1177,1551,575,655],"class_list":["post-140038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-yleinen","tag-amazon","tag-drought","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-yleinen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140038"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140038\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
