This project aims to quantify gross primary production in the Amazon rainforest and its response to drought conditions. By utilizing stable isotopes in atmospheric carbon dioxide, it seeks to improve understanding of the carbon cycle and the impact of climate change on this vital ecosystem.
Severe droughts in Amazonia in 2005 and 2010 caused widespread loss of carbon from the terrestrial biosphere.
This loss, almost twice the annual fossil fuel CO2 emissions in the EU, suggests a large sensitivity of the Amazonian carbon balance to a predicted more intense drought regime in the next decades.
This is a dangerous inference though, as there is no scientific consensus on the most basic metrics of Amazonian carbon exchange: the gross primary production (GPP) and its response to moisture…
