Amazon Rainforest Carbon Store. deforestation and climate change are altering the amazon rainforest's ability to soak up carbon, according to a new study. Conversion of rainforest to agriculture has caused a 17 percent decrease in forest extent in the amazon, which stretches over an area almost as large as the continental. our analysis finds that forests managed by indigenous people in the amazon were strong net carbon sinks. up to one fifth of the amazon rainforest is emitting more co2 than it absorbs, new research suggests. The amazon rainforest covers more than 60% of the landmass of peru. here we investigate amazonia’s carbon budget and the main drivers responsible for its change into a. but deforestation and global warming over the last 40 years have affected rainfall and temperature with potential impacts for the amazon’s ability to store carbon. releasing, say, 120 billion metric tons of co 2 (a more conservative estimate of amazon carbon stores) by removing forest would warm the planet by an estimated 0.25 degree celsius, she explains. the amazon rainforest is often called “the lungs of the world.” it produces oxygen and stores billions of tons of carbon every year.
