Amazon Giants Grow, Bolstering Climate Resilience | JQJO

A new study reveals Amazon's largest trees are growing and increasing in number, actively mitigating climate change impacts. Researchers tracked intact forest plots for 30 years, finding a 3.3% expansion in big trees per decade, attributed to rising atmospheric CO2. While demonstrating forest resilience, scientists caution that these giants remain vulnerable to increased droughts, fires, and ongoing deforestation, highlighting the urgent need for preservation.
