Aircraft profiles show the eastern Amazon emitting more carbon than it absorbs

node

Gatti and colleagues publish results from repeated vertical aircraft profiles flown over four sites through the 2010s, finding the eastern and especially southeastern basin to be a net carbon source while the wetter northwest remains a sink. Unlike a drought-year measurement, this describes a change of state in one region rather than a temporary perturbation across all of it.

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