This study aims to understand the long-term effects of climate change on tropical forests, which are vital carbon sinks. By analyzing tree growth over centuries, the research seeks to uncover how these forests respond to rising CO2 levels and changing climates.
Tropical forests cover just 7% of the Earth s surface, but store 25% of the global terrestrial carbon pool.
Since they are so rich in carbon, net loss or uptake of carbon by tropical forests has important implications for atmospheric CO2 levels.
Thus, tropical forests can speed up climate change by net emission of CO2 or slow it down by net sequestration.
The rise in atmospheric CO2 level since the onset of the Industrial Revolution and the resulting climatic changes have certainly affected trop…
