Researchers have been worried for years that rising temperatures, drought, and deforestation are reducing the world s largest rainforest s ability to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and help reduce fossil-fuel pollution. According to recent research, certain parts of the tropical ecosystem could release more carbon than they contain.
However, CO2 inhalation and exhalation are just one way that this humid jungle, which is home to the world s most diverse wildlife, affects the global climate. Natural and human-caused actions in the Amazon will dramatically change the rainforest s contribution by actively warming the air or emitting other greenhouse gases that do.
