Direct measurements can help to understand the changes in ecosystems: Amazonia a case study.
The Amazon is the largest rainforest on the planet and was an important carbon sink. The carbon sink is declining, mainly due to an increase in tree mortality as a result of deforestation, degradation, and local, regional and global climate change. In addition, deforestation and forest degradation r...

Impacts of atmospheric CO2 increase and Amazon deforestation on the regional climate: A water budget modelling study.
Global air temperature increase has caused changes in the global climate such as droughts, floods and severe events. Land cover shifts and the increase in greenhouse gas emissions can intensify these impacts. Therefore, the application of Specific Warming Level 2 (SWL2) technique has been considered...
