– Impact of climate change on tropical forests
– Role of forests in carbon absorption
– Conservation strategies for tropical ecosystems.
A recent study highlights that tropical forests are finding it increasingly difficult to adapt to climate change, raising concerns about their long-term ability to absorb carbon dioxide. Researchers warn that rising temperatures, prolonged droughts, and deforestation are weakening the resilience of these vital ecosystems.
The study emphasizes that while forests have historically played a key role in regulating global temperatures, climate change is now outpacing their capacity for adaptation. This threatens biodiversity and could accelerate global warming by reducing the forests’ ability to act as carbon sinks.
Scientists call for urgent conservation measures, including halting deforestation and implementing sustainable land-use policies. Protecting tropical forests is essential for mitigating climate change and maintaining biodiversity.
