The Amazon is losing its capacity to sequester atmospheric carbon. This was revealed by a study published on 19 March in the journal Nature. These results were obtained from an major inventory over thirty years in the tropical forests of South America. The study was the most comprehensive ever conducted of this issue to date. It was led by the University of Leeds and involved around a hundred researchers, including a large number from France (CIRAD, CNRS and INRA), working within Labex CEBA.
