Answer:
- The oxygen and carbon cycles in the Earth are significantly regulated by the Amazon rainforest.
- It contributes about 6% of the world's oxygen production, and it has long been assumed that it functions as a carbon sink, rapidly absorbing significant amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
- However, this carbon is released into the atmosphere at alarmingly high rates when trees are cut down and the forest is burned.
- According to recent studies, these trees may be producing more carbon dioxide than they are taking in.
- Fortunately, if we can protect significant portions of the delicate ecosystem, experts think we might be able to restore its function as a carbon sink.
