Scientists warn that by 2050, up to 47 percent of the Amazon rainforest could reach critical ecological tipping points due to deforestation, droughts, and human-driven global warming. This could lead to the transition into degraded ecosystems like savanna grasslands, impacting the planet's carbon balance sheet and the forest's crucial role in combating global warming.
Extreme flooding and droughts may be the new norm for the Amazon, challenging its people and ecosystems. #LongReads @NewsfromScience https://t.co/dwZ64IAF81 https://t.co/PcLt03KLZ7

A new study warns that 10-47% of the #Amazon forest could hit critical thresholds by 2050 due to #droughts, #deforestation, and fires. Human activities like logging and #cattle ranching erode the forest's crucial role in combating #GlobalWarming. 🌳🌏https://t.co/sGnfvmvljH
The Amazon rainforest may cross tipping points as soon as 2050. • If large parts of the rainforest were to deteriorate and abruptly transition into a different type of ecosystem, it would affect the entire planet's carbon balance sheet. https://t.co/rgwHILH1hp

By 2050, up to 47 percent of the Amazon could hit critical ecological tipping points, researchers say, transitioning into savanna grasslands or other degraded ecosystems because of deforestation and human-driven global warming. https://t.co/mWSYjRodKh
