Article Synopsis
- Recent research challenges the idea that old-growth forests are at a steady state, revealing that Amazon forests are increasing in carbon and biomass due to higher atmospheric CO2 levels.
- There is a significant rise in woody climbing plants, or lianas, which have been increasing in size and density over the last two decades.
- The growth of lianas threatens tree health and survival, suggesting that the carbon storage potential of these forests may decline sooner than previously expected, necessitating updates to carbon flux predictions.
