The Amazon has emitted more carbon than it absorbed since 2010, study says Isabella O Malley The Brazilian Amazon Rainforest, dubbed the ‘lungs of the Earth’ for the vast amounts of oxygen it provides us and the crucial role it plays in regulating the climate, has actually been emitting more carbon dioxide than it has sequestered since 2010. This finding comes from a study published in Nature Climate Change that reports the Amazon released 16.6 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide between 2010–2019, which is 20 per cent more than the 13.9 billion tonnes that were captured. While many factors have hindered the rainforests from removing enormous amounts of carbon from the air, the international team of researchers found that degradation actually played a bigger role than deforestation. Degradation refers to the activities that leave the rainforest damaged, but not destroyed. ....
The Amazon has emitted more carbon than it absorbed since 2010, study says Isabella O Malley Monday, May 10th 2021, 7:30 am - Severe droughts and governmental policies that put the Amazon rainforest at risk are two major factors that have flipped this carbon sink into a carbon source. The Brazilian Amazon Rainforest, dubbed the ‘lungs of the Earth’ for the vast amounts of oxygen it provides us and the crucial role it plays in regulating the climate, has actually been emitting more carbon dioxide than it has sequestered since 2010. This finding comes from a study published in Nature Climate Change that reports the Amazon released 16.6 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide between 2010–2019, which is 20 per cent more than the 13.9 billion tonnes that were captured. ....
Human Activity and Climate Change Led to Degradation of Amazon Rainforest Written by AZoCleantechMay 3 2021 According to a new study, the Brazilian Amazon rainforest discharged more carbon compared to what it stored over the past 10 years, where degradation was a major contributor compared to deforestation.

Over 60% of the Amazon rainforest is found in Brazil, and researchers involved in the new study employed satellite monitoring to quantify carbon storage from 2010 to 2019. The researchers discovered that degradation (damage to parts of the forest without being destroyed) made up for three times more carbon loss compared to deforestation. ....
Brazilian Amazon released more carbon than it stored in 2010s The Brazilian Amazon rainforest released more carbon than it stored over the last decade – with degradation a bigger cause than deforestation – according to new research. More than 60% of the Amazon rainforest is in Brazil, and the new study used satellite monitoring to measure carbon storage from 2010-2019. The study found that degradation (parts of the forest being damaged but not destroyed) accounted for three times more carbon loss than deforestation. The research team – including INRAE, the University of Oklahoma and the University of Exeter – said large areas of rainforest were degraded or destroyed due to human activity and climate change, leading to carbon loss. ....
