The 2010 Amazon Drought
Simon L. Lewis,Paulo M. Brando,Oliver L. Phillips,Geertje M. F. van der Heijden,Daniel C. Nepstad +4 more
TL;DR: A decade of satellite-derived rainfall data is analyzed to compare both the 2010 and 2005 drought in Amazonia and predict the impact of the 2010 drought as 2.2 × 1015 grams of carbon, largely longer-term committed emissions from drought-induced tree deaths.

TL;DR: The finding that Amazonia is dominated by just 227 tree species implies that most biogeochemical cycling in the world’s largest tropical forest is performed by a tiny sliver of its diversity.

TL;DR: It is indicated that repeated droughts would shift the functional composition of tropical forests toward smaller, denser-wooded trees, suggesting the existence of moisture stress thresholds beyond which some tropical forests would suffer catastrophic tree mortality.

TL;DR: Overall, the uptake of carbon into Earth’s intact tropical forests peaked in the 1990s and independent observations indicating greater recent carbon uptake into the Northern Hemisphere landmass reinforce the conclusion that the intact tropical forest carbon sink has already peaked.
