Amazon Rainforest

📰 Why in News

A Nature study shows Amazon Rainforest trees are growing larger as rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels triggers the carbon fertilisation…

✅ Quick Facts
  • 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 more…
  • 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 temperature…

Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

📰 Why in News

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.

✅ Quick Facts
  • About: AMOC is a large-scale oceanic circulation system that transports warm surface waters from the tropics to the northern latitudes and returns…
  • 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.
