Relationship between deforestation and fire in the Chaco

[8/8] L’étude montre que le climat n’est pas le moteur principal des incendies. Ce sont surtout les usages du sol qui expliquent leur intensité. Mieux réguler la déforestation et les pratiques agricoles apparaît donc central pour limiter les feux.

What is the role of deforestation in climate change and how can 'Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation' (REDD+) How does deforestation contribute to climate change? Deforestation refers to the purposeful clearing or thinning of trees and forests. When deforestation occurs, much of the carbon stored by trees is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, which contributes to climate change . Land use change, principally deforestation, contributes 13–21% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Forest degradation (changes that negatively affect a forest’s structure or function but that do not decrease its area), and the destruction of tropical peatlands, also contribute to these emissions. As a result of deforestation and degradation, some tropical forests now emit more carbon than they capture, turning them from a carbon ‘sink’ into a carbon source. For example, the south-eastern part of the Amazon Rainforest is now considered a net carbon source by scientists. Due to drought and unusually high temperatures in 2023 (1.5°C above typical levels from 1991 to 2020), the entire Amazon rainforest became a ‘weak source’ of CO2 emissions in 2023. It is too early to know whether this occurrence will continue into the future, as the carbon balance of the Amazon rainforest is contingent on net growth (total growth and carbon uptake minus deforestation) and climatic factors. However, the shift...

The river no longer reaches our home.

Deforestation is impacting rural communities—drying land, reducing food, and accelerating climate change.
