Amazon Rainforest
A Nature study shows Amazon Rainforest trees are growing larger as rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels triggers the carbon fertilisationโฆ
- It is the process where higher levels of CO2 in the atmosphere boost plant growth.
- CO2 is a key ingredient for photosynthesis, so when plants have more of it, they can grow faster, produce more biomass, and often use water moreโฆ
- This effect is seen naturally in forests and crops
- However, this effect is not limitless and depends on other factors like water availability, soil nutrients (especially nitrogen), and temperatureโฆ
Show 5 more facts
- Location & Size: The Amazon Rainforest, located in South America, is the largest tropical rainforest in the world, covering approximately 6 million sq
- Flora: Prominent plant species include myrtle, laurel, palm, acacia, rosewood, Brazil nut tree, rubber tree, mahogany, and cedar.
- Fauna: Iconic wildlife includes jaguar, manatee, tapir, capybara, red deer, monkeys, sloths, caimans, anacondas, tarantulas, toucans, and macaws.

Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is at risk of imminent collapse, with recent studies indicating that anthropogenic emissions could expedite this between 2025 and 2095.
- About: AMOC is a large-scale oceanic circulation system that transports warm surface waters from the tropics to the northern latitudes and returnsโฆ
- Warm Water Transport: AMOC transports warm, salty surface waters from the tropics to the northern regions
- Cooling and Density Increase: As the warm surface waters move towards the poles, they gradually cool due to heat loss to the atmosphere
- Downwelling: Once cooled, the dense, cold water sinks to deeper layers of the ocean in a process known as downwelling
Show 6 more facts
- This southward flow represents the deep limb of the AMOC, where cold, dense water mass redistributes heat and nutrients throughout the ocean.
- As the water resurfaces, it begins to warm up again, completing the circulation cycle of the AMOC.
- Role of Indian Ocean: As the Indian Ocean warms faster and faster, it generates additional precipitation
- This saltier water in the Atlantic, as it comes north via AMOC, will get cold much quicker than usual and sink faster.
- This would act as a jump start for AMOC, intensifying the circulation.
- This influx has lowered water salinity and density, causing the colder ocean layer to expand while the warmer layer contracts.

- After the signing of the Agreement, the last eight years (2015-2022) have consecutively been the warmest years on record globally
- For example, while the European Union's NDCs show strong targets and implementation like the European Green Deal, countries like South Africaโฆ
