The threshold question is reframed as compounding disturbance

node

Flores and colleagues publish an assessment in Nature arguing that the relevant question is not a single deforestation percentage but the compounding of water stress, fire, clearance and warming, and propose safe boundaries in terms of rainfall, dry season length and cumulative water deficit as well as forest loss. It replaces a threshold with a set of conditions, which is harder to quote and closer to the mechanism.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

  15. Evidence
  16. Supports the reframing of the Amazon threshold question in terms of compounding disturbances and proposed safe boundaries expressed as rainfall, dry season length, cumulative water deficit and forest loss. V55 verification basis: not retrieved in this session; none of the proposed boundary values is quoted, because they could not be checked.
