How the world’s northernmost forests are also under threat from climate change - Inquirer.Net Earth & Environment

Submitted by meghavi on Wed, 06/16/2021 - 18:22

Forests play an essential role in capturing and storing carbon. But climate change poses a growing threat to these ecosystems. With fires and deforestation linked to human activity, the Amazon rainforest in Brazil has, for example, released more carbon than it absorbed in the last 10 years, according to recent research.
