Article Synopsis
- Disturbances from selective logging in the Amazon release over 90 Tg of carbon annually, but this is partially offset by the regrowth of forests.
- A unique modeling approach utilizing data from 133 forest plots helps forecast carbon recovery across different regions of the Amazon, considering factors like climate, soil, and initial biomass.
- The study finds that carbon recovery is significantly higher in regions like the Guiana Shield compared to the southern areas, where environmental stress limits regeneration, emphasizing the importance of surviving trees in the recovery process.
