Amazon trees are growing bigger than ever before — and the reason is shocking
The Amazon rainforest exhibits surprising growth, with trees expanding due to increased carbon dioxide levels, acting as a natural fertilizer. Larger trees dominate, enhancing carbon storage crucial for mitigating climate change. However, scientists caution that rising temperatures and extreme weather events pose threats to this flourishing forest, potentially disrupting tree growth and releasing stored carbon back into the atmosphere.
