Blue and Green: A study has found that the net carbon uptake of the Amazon forest as halved since the 1990s. Researchers warn that the findings have implications for climate change and emission reduction targets. The research, which was led by the University of Leeds and published in the journal Nature, notes that the amount of carbon absorbed by the Amazon peaked in the 90s at two billion tonnes each year, however, this has halved and is now, for the first time, being overtaken by fossil fuel emissions in Latin...

Climate: Amazon forest losing carbon-storing capacity
2015-03-19 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: The Amazonian rainforest has lost much of its ability to absorb climate-altering greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, scientists reported on Wednesday. In the 1990s, the great forest was able to store as much as two billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) each year, they said. Now, though, the uptake has halved, and for the first time is being outstripped by fossil-fuel emissions from Latin America. The evidence, reported in the journal Nature, comes from a 30-year survey that brought together...

Amazon rainforest soaking up less carbon as trees die young
2015-03-19 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The Amazon rainforest's ability to soak up greenhouse gases from the air has fallen sharply, possibly because climate change and droughts mean more trees are dying, an international team of scientists said on Wednesday. The world's biggest rainforest has soaked up vast amounts of carbon dioxide. Plants use the heat-trapping gas to grow and release it when they rot or burn, but the report said that role in offsetting global warming may be under threat. The study, of 321 plots in parts of the Amazon...
