Amazon dieback beyond the 21st century under high-emission scenarios by Earth System models
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
Climate models project that a large portion of the Amazon rainforest could experience severe decline by the end of the 23rd century under a high greenhouse gas emission scenario. Key factors contributing to this decline are rising temperatures, decreasing rainfall, and land-use changes, specifically the conversion of forest to pasture or cropland. The decline is projected to be gradual, spanning over a century, eventually leading to a temporary shift from a carbon sink to a carbon source in the 22nd century before returning to near-neutral conditions by the 23rd century.

Under a high greenhouse gas emissions scenario, many climate models predict the Amazon rainforest will decline severely by the end of the 23rd century due to increasing temperatures, decreasing rainfall, and land-use change.
