Scientists have issued warnings about the Amazon rainforest since 2050. According to them, the vital ecosystem of the earth is in danger and their alarm has sounded.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, recent studies on climate change in the world show dire consequences and a dangerous future for the Amazon rainforest. According to this research, due to the pressure and problems created in these forests, we will witness the collapse of this ecosystem by 2050.
Currently, 10% of the world's biodiversity is in the Amazon rainforest. Also, the absorption of carbon dioxide through these rainforests has stabilized the global climate. Carbon dioxide is the main cause of global warming and the trees of these forests can help balance the climate.
The ability of the Amazon forests has decreased due to problems such as deforestation, fires, rising temperatures and drought. Therefore, scientists have used the term tipping point in this case, warned in this regard and said that this vital ecosystem may turn into a destroyed environment in the coming decades.
An international group of scientists has estimated in their new study that by 2050, between 10 and 47 percent of the Amazon forest will be exposed to a massive pressure and extensive changes will be made in their ecosystem. In a way that they can no longer absorb carbon dioxide. Hence, they will probably release the carbon stored in them and increase global warming.
In identifying the factors and problems of these rain forests, information related to computer models, observations and evidence related to recent changes have been used. In the future, this forest is under unprecedented levels of water stress and may turn into saturated warm grasslands.
