The Amazon is important to the global carbon budget through its
role in taking in and storing carbon from the atmosphere within the
trees and the soil. The global forestry industry currently accounts
for approximately 17% of greenhouse gas emissions, behind only
energy supply (26%) and industry (19%).2 But it is not just at the
global scale that it is important. The Amazon forest also plays a
crucial role in the climate of South America through its effect on
the regional water cycle. The forest interacts with the atmosphere
to regulate moisture within the basin. Moisture is transported into
the Amazon region from the tropical Atlantic by the trade winds.
After the rain falls, intense evaporation and recycling of moisture
is performed by the tropical forest, and then a large part of this
evaporation is returned to the Amazon region as rain. It is
estimated that between 30% and 50% of the rainfall within the
Amazon Basin to consist of recycled evaporation. Furthermore,
moisture originating in the Amazon basin is transported by the
winds to other parts of the continent, and is thought to be
important in feeding rainfall in regions remote from the Amazon
itself.

- Is Amazon rainforest going from carbon sink to carbon source? / : Fred Pearce.
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, May 19, 2020
It is not often that you meet a scientist breathless with excitement about her new findings. But it happened to
me last September at the National Institute for Space Research in the Brazilian research city of Sao Jose dos
Campos. Atmospheric chemist Luciana Gatti was rushing to tell her colleagues the result of her latest analysis
of carbon dioxide emissions from the Amazon rainforest, which she had completed that morning.
Gatt'’s findings, while relating to the southeast of the Amazon, the region's most heavily deforested area,
suggest that the rainforest as a whole could be close to flipping from a sink to a source of carbon dioxide.
The ability of intact areas of the rainforest to absorb carbon dioxide have already halved since the 1990s,
says Carlos Nobre of the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil's most noted climate scientist. Passing the tipping
point for the whole forest would release more than 50 billion tons of carbon, he said recently, which is the
equivalent of five years of global fossil-fuel and industrial emissions.

Et uafhængigt overvågningsprogram fra organisationen INPE (National Institute for Space Research) har fulgt
afskovning ved hjælp af satellitbilleder i en årrække, og de har senest dokumenteret, at der i juli måned alene
blev fældet 3926 kvadratkilometer regnskov.
