Amazon Trees Grow Larger and More Resilient Amid Rising CO₂ Levels
A recent study shows that the largest trees in the Amazon are growing taller and multiplying, likely due to increased atmospheric CO2, indicating resilience amid climate change. However, deforestation, fires, and droughts remain significant threats, and the forest's ability to offset global emissions is limited. Protecting intact forests is crucial to maintaining their role as a carbon sink and preventing ecological collapse.
