Is
the massive Amazon forest a CO2 sink, a source or is it in
equilibrium?
There
is a large uncertainty in carbon fluxes estimates for the tropics as a whole
and in particular for the Amazon region in South America,
bringing the attention to the lack of information to call the region a carbon
source or sink. The production of scientific consistent and long term data
series for the region is a process that has to advance step by step.
