科学家警告亚马逊可能因长期干旱而失去大片树木并减少碳吸收。 Scientists warn the Amazon may lose large trees and reduce carbon absorption due to long-term drought.

来自爱丁堡大学和联邦帕拉大学的研究人员警告说,亚马逊雨林可能因气候变化造成的长期干旱,包括大树死亡和碳吸收能力下降而经历“深刻的变化”。 Researchers from the University of Edinburgh and Universidade Federal do Para warn that the Amazon rainforest may experience "profound changes" from long-term drought due to climate change, including the death of large trees and reduced carbon absorption capacity. 在巴西进行的一项22年研究显示,生物量损失了三分之一,大多数大树在头15年内死亡。 A 22-year study in Brazil showed a third loss of biomass, with most large trees dying within the first 15 years. 虽然森林最终稳定下来,但需要进一步研究空气湿度、温度和极端天气的影响。 While the forest eventually stabilized, further research is needed on air moisture, temperature, and extreme weather impacts.
