Drought sensitivity of the Amazon is published

node

Phillips and colleagues report the 2005 drought's effect on the RAINFOR plot network in Science, providing the first direct field measurement that Amazonian forest carbon uptake is conditional on rainfall rather than a stable property of the biome. It reframes the Amazon in the carbon accounts from an asset to a contingency.

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