Analysis of the carbon source of the Amazon rainforest
I have heard that the Amazon rainforest is vast and vast, the lung of the earth, and plays a pivotal role in the global carbon cycle. However, recent research, or some people call it a carbon source, this statement needs to be carefully examined.

The ancient rainforest was lush and prosperous, with vegetation growing year by year, absorbing carbon dioxide and sequestering carbon in the body. It was a place of carbon sinks for many years, which benefited the global climate. At that time, the sun was abundant, the precipitation was suitable, the soil was fertile, and the rainforest was full of vitality. Carbon absorption far exceeded emissions.

In this world, times are changing. Human activities are gradually disturbing the ecology of the rainforest. First, deforestation of trees, for the sake of reclaiming land and obtaining materials, large areas of forests are falling. After the trees are cut, the ability to sequester carbon is lost, and the rotting wood releases carbon, resulting in a surge in carbon emissions. Second, fires are frequent, either due to human negligence or due to abnormal climate. Fires rage, burning vegetation, a large amount of carbide escapes into the air, and the rainforest becomes a source of carbon. Third, the expansion of agriculture, fertilizer application and land tillage change the soil carbon pool, which also promotes carbon emissions.

However, it is not true that the Amazon rainforest is a pure carbon source. The rainforest is vast, and some areas are still ecologically stable, so it still functions as a carbon sink. And the force of nature also has the ability to repair. Precipitation is moist, and new greenery is re-emerging, which can gradually absorb carbon gas.

Therefore, the theory of the carbon source of the Amazon rainforest should be viewed comprehensively. Humans should implement conservation strategies as soon as possible, control tree logging, fire prevention, and manage farming, help the rainforest recover its carbon sink, maintain the balance of the global carbon cycle, and protect the ecological security of the earth.
