The Amazon carbon source test
Between heaven and earth, the transportation and transformation of gas is related to all kinds of life. In the territory of South America, the Amazon is a vast jungle, and it is known to the world as the lung of the earth. However, in recent years, it has been studied that this forest may also be a carbon source. This theory is not false, and there is evidence to follow.

Looking at the changes in its climate, the land of the Amazon is increasingly dry for a long time. There is a lack of rain, the trees lack water, and their growth is hindered. Its photosynthetic ability is weak, and its power to sequester carbon is reduced. And the drought phenomenon occurs, and wildfires are easy to start. Raging fire, burning forests and destroying trees, and the stored carbon is instantly released into the atmosphere.

And observing the disturbance of human beings. Deforestation and land reclamation, a day of prosperity. Forests are cut down, ecological imbalance. Microorganisms in the soil, due to changes in the environment, their metabolism is different, and the carbon cycle is chaotic. The stored carbon cannot be settled under the forest, but enters the atmosphere, causing carbon to increase.

The Amazon used to be a carbon sink, but now it may turn into a carbon source. This change is not small, and it is related to the global climate. If it is not protected and allowed to deteriorate, more carbon will overflow in the air, the greenhouse effect will intensify, and the global disaster will be imminent. Therefore, we should quickly find good strategies to protect this rainforest, maintain ecological balance, and control the expansion of carbon sources, so as to protect the safety of future generations.
