New constraints on the Amazonian carbon balance from airborne observations of the stable isotopes of CO2 (ASICA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2020,

Severe droughts in Amazonia in 2005 and 2010 caused widespread loss of carbon from the terrestrial biosphere. This loss, almost twice the annual fossil fuel CO2 emissions in the EU, suggests a large sensitivity of the Amazonian carbon balance to a predicted more intense drought regime in the next decades. This is a dangerous inference though, as there is no scientific consensus on the most basic m ...
