flag Amazon trees are growing larger due to higher CO2, boosting carbon storage, but deforestation and climate threats remain urgent.

flag Trees in the Amazon rainforest are growing larger, with average diameter increasing by 3.3% per decade, likely due to higher carbon dioxide levels acting as a fertilizer. flag A UK-led study involving researchers from several universities and Brazilian scientists found both small and large trees are getting bigger, indicating forest resilience despite climate change. flag This growth may enhance carbon storage, but scientists warn deforestation, drought, and nutrient limits threaten long-term stability. flag Old-growth trees, vital for carbon and biodiversity, cannot be replaced by new plantings. flag The findings underscore the need to protect intact, connected forests ahead of COP30 in Brazil.
