Study reveals how giant #trees in #tropicalForests transport #water to their uppermost branches
The study published in #Science helps us understand the role of this little-studied type of #vegetation in #climateChange. One percent of the tallest trees store more than half of the #carbon in #tropical forest #ecosystems. -

What if we paid countries to NOT cut down their forests? Brazil and international partners are launching a $125 billion fund to do exactly that. Protecting nature is sound economic policy. 🌳 #TropicalForests #ClimateFinance https://therevelator.org/conservation-horizon-2026/

Small persistent humid forest clearings drive tropical forest biomass losses
"Tropical forests store about half of the global forest above ground carbon (AGC), yet extensive areas are affected by disturbances, such as deforestation from agricultural expansion and degradation from fires, selective logging, and edge effects...Findings highlight the disproportionate impact of small clearings on tropical carbon losses, suggesting the need to curb land-use changes and protect young and recovering forests."

Tropical soils appear to be more sensitive to warming than previously thought.
In a field experiment in Puerto Rico, warming understory plants and topsoil by 4°C increased CO2 emissions by between 42% and 204%, depending on the terrain.

Tropical dry forests are critically endangered ecosystems that once covered vast areas of the planet but have been largely destroyed, with less than 8% of the original extent remaining in some regions due to conversion to agriculture and development.
