Not only is the old-growth rainforests in the basin huge carbon storage with about 120 billion metric tons of carbon in their biomass, but they also process annually twice the rate of global anthropogenic fossil fuel emissions through respiration and photosynthesis. In addition, the basin is the largest global repository of biodiversity and produces about 20 percent of the world's flow of fresh water into the oceans.Despite the large CO2 efflux from recent deforestation, the Amazon rainforest is still considered to be a net carbonWorld Bank e-Library.World Bank study.Climatic changesAmazon River RegionForecastingComputer simulationDeforestationAmazon River RegionComputer simulationForest biomassCarbon contentAmazon River RegionComputer simulationForest microclimatologyAmazon River RegionComputer simulationRain forest plantsClimatic factorsAmazon River RegionComputer simulationClimatic changesForecastingComputer simulation.DeforestationComputer simulation.Forest biomassCarbon contentComputer simulation.Forest microclimatologyComputer simulation.Rain forest plantsClimatic factorsComputer simulation.333.75/1409811Vergara Walter1950-1610041Scholz Sebastian M1661472DNAL/DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910819978303321Assessment of the risk of Amazon dieback4111247UNINA
