Forty years of tracking trees reveals changes in Amazon and Andean Forest diversity
New research reveals significant recent shifts in tree diversity among the tropical forests of the Andes and Amazon, driven by global change.

Tree diversity is changing in the Amazon and Andes.

Hot, drier, more fragmented forests are losing species. Many in the Andes + western Amazon are gaining them.

If recovering tropical forests had enough nitrogen in their soils, they could absorb up to an additional 820 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year for a decade, new research from @uofgges.bsky.social reveals.

Nitrogen availability nearly doubles the regrowth rate of young tropical forests, significantly increasing their capacity to absorb carbon dioxide during early recovery stages.
Recovering tropical forests grow back nearly twice as fast with nitrogen
Young tropical forests play a crucial role in slowing climate change. Growing trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air, using photosynthesis to build it into their roots, trunks, and branches, where they can store carbon for decades or even centuries.
