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 carbon 410 0$aWorld Bank Studies 606 $aClimatic changes$zAmazon River Region$xForecasting$xComputer simulation 606 $aDeforestation$zAmazon River Region$xComputer simulation 606 $aForest biomass$xCarbon content$zAmazon River Region$xComputer simulation 606 $aForest microclimatology$zAmazon River Region$xComputer simulation 606 $aRain forest plants$xClimatic factors$zAmazon River Region$xComputer simulation 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xForecasting$xComputer simulation. 615 0$aDeforestation$xComputer simulation. 615 0$aForest biomass$xCarbon content$xComputer simulation. 615 0$aForest microclimatology$xComputer simulation. 615 0$aRain forest plants$xClimatic factors$xComputer simulation. 676 $a333.75/1409811 700 $aVergara$b Walter$f1950-$0893146 701 $aScholz$b Sebastian M$0931486 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458204703321 996 $aAssessment of the risk of Amazon dieback$92095398 997 $aUNINA
