Post-drought decline of the Amazon carbon sink.
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Amazon forests have experienced frequent and severe droughts in the past two decades. However, little is known about the large-scale legacy of droughts on carbon stocks and dynamics of forests. Using systematic sampling of forest structure measured by LiDAR waveforms from 2003 to 2008, here we show a significant loss of carbon over the entire Amazon basin at a rate of 0.3 ± 0.2 (95% CI) PgC yr−1 after the 2005 mega-drought, which continued persistently over the next 3 years (2005–2008). The changes in forest structure, captured by average LiDAR forest height and converted to above ground biomass carbon density, show an average loss of 2.35 ± 1.80 MgC ha−1 a year after (2006) in the epicenter of the drought. With more frequent droughts expected in future, forests of Amazon may lose their role as a robust sink of carbon, leading to a significant positive climate feedback and exacerbating warming trends.

During 2005-2008 the Amazon was a net carbon source due to drought-stressed and dying trees, combined with increased occurrence of fires.
“However, during 2005-2008 the Amazon was a net carbon source due to drought-stressed and dying trees, combined with increased occurrence of fires (Zeng et al., 2008;Yang et al., 2018).”
From The tropical atlantic observing system (2019) · cites this paper as Yang et al., 2018
The Results (Biomass and carbon changes) report post-2005 carbon losses, a shift to a carbon source in intact southern forests, and emissions from fires. But they do not show an increased occurrence of fires, and the Discussion cautions that the estimated drought-related loss is a decline in the forest carbon sink, not its absolute magnitude. The paper therefore does not establish that the entire Amazon was a net carbon source throughout 2005–2008 for the reasons stated. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
