The Amazon is shifting from carbon sink to carbon source. 15 yrs of CO2 data show that fires are the dominant carbon source and now outpace forest uptake. Deforestation is driving the damage, amplified by drought and El Niño. Protecting forests is climate action. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Amazon carbon emissions driven by human actions amplified by droughts - Nature

Fifteen years of atmospheric CO2 measurements show that the Amazon carbon sink is weakening, with fires, deforestation and climate stress driving increasingly high carbon emissions.

A new meta-analysis of 66 stream studies reveals that biological structure and ecosystem functioning respond differently to #restoration. One key insight is that without proper reference states, we can't tell if interventions are hitting true process-based targets for stream ecosystem functions.

Hydromorphological Restoration of Streams Does Not Ensure the Recovery of Ecosystem Functioning

Hydromorphological stream restoration does not consistently restore ecosystem functioning. Across 66 studies, functional responses were heterogeneous, depended on the comparison baseline, and were no...
