Lower tipping point: Researchers found climate change reduces the deforestation threshold for rainfall loss from 50% to as low as 10% in high-emission scenarios. Agriculture at risk: Even a 4% drop in ...

Deforestation coupled with climate change is rapidly pushing the Amazon Rainforest toward a perilous tipping point that could come much sooner than previously thought. That’s the warning from a new ...

How can microbes in the Amazon help mitigate the global effects of climate change? This is what a recent study published in Microbiology Spectrum hopes to address as a tea of researchers from the ...

Climate change is affecting the bodies of birds, even in the most remote parts of the Amazon, devoid of direct contact with human beings. Birds in the Amazon rainforest have become smaller and their ...

Around two-thirds of the Amazon rainforest could shift into degraded forest or savannah-like ecosystems at 1.5-1.9°C of global warming if deforestation increases to roughly 22-28 percent of the Amazon ...

The Amazon could be racing closer to a calamitous tipping point that would transform the lush rainforest into a drier savanna within a century, researchers warn. This massive shift could be triggered ...

The launch of the Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF) at the COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil underscores how the Amazon Forest can be part of the climate solution. There’s another Amazon, ...

Deforestation of 22-28% of the Amazon Rainforest, coupled with 1.5-1.9°C of global warming, could trigger a widespread shift of the Amazon Rainforest to degraded forest and savanna grassland ...
