How these connect

The Amazon Dieback Threshold and what it relates to. Every line is an evidence-backed relation, and the arrangement is fixed — this address draws this picture, today and next year.

Every relation drawn, in words6
  1. Amazon Deforestation · affects · Moisture Recycling

    Removing forest removes the transpiration that returns rainfall to the atmosphere, shortening the recycling chain for everything downwind.

  2. The Amazon Dieback Threshold · depends_on · Moisture Recycling

    The hypothesised transition is a failure of the forest-generated rainfall on which the western and southern basin depends.

  3. Amazon Deforestation · affects · The Amazon Dieback Threshold

    Cumulative clearance is the variable in which every published version of the threshold has been expressed, whatever the value proposed.

  4. Carlos Nobre · assesses · The Amazon Dieback Threshold

    Nobre co-authored both the 2016 assessment and the 2018 revision that lowered the proposed threshold substantially.

  5. Critical transitions in the Amazon forest system · evidence_for · The Amazon Dieback Threshold

    The 2024 Nature assessment is the current published statement of the compounding-disturbance framing of the threshold question.

  6. Pronounced loss of Amazon rainforest resilience since the early 2000s · evidence_for · The Amazon Dieback Threshold

    Satellite-derived slowing of recovery from perturbation is the observational early-warning signal cited in support of proximity to a transition.
