Extreme temperatures and humidity driven by climate change could reduce the Amazon rainforest's capacity to absorb the greenhouse gas methane by 70 per cent, a study has found. Researchers said that under a warmer climate, the extreme rainfall and droughts projected for South America's Amazon could impact its net greenhouse gas emissions.
Often referred to as the 'lungs of the planet', the tropical rainforest lies majorly in Brazil, with parts in Peru, Colombia, [...]

Extreme temperatures and humidity due to climate change could reduce the Amazon rainforest's ability to absorb the greenhouse gas methane by 70 percent, a study has found. The researchers said that under a warmer climate, the extreme rainfall and drought expected in the South American Amazon could impact net greenhouse gas emissions.
Also known as the “lungs of the earth,” these rainforests are located mostly in Brazil, but also in Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador, and are [...]

Extreme temperatures and humidity levels (excessive rain or drought) projected for the Amazon in the context of climate change may increase the volume of methane-producing microorganisms in flooded areas and reduce potential uptake of this greenhouse gas in upland forests by 70%, with global impacts, according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil.
An article reporting their findings is published in the journal Environmental Microbiome . [...]

Researchers conducted an experiment to observe the effects on soil samples of extreme conditions in the laboratory. Their findings show that the balance of greenhouse gas emissions from microbial decomposition organic matter may change. Extreme temperatures and humidity levels (excessive rain or drought) projected for the Amazon in the context of climate change may increase the volume of methane-producing microorganisms in flooded areas and reduce potential uptake of this greenhouse gas in [...]

Pesquisadores da USP simularam em laboratório condições extremas de temperatura e precipitação e avaliaram o efeito em amostras de solo; resultados indicam a possibilidade de modificação no equilíbrio do gás de efeito estufa gerado pela decomposição microbiana de matéria orgânica
Condições extremas de temperatura e umidade (chuva excessiva ou seca) previstas para a região [...]
