Scientists issued the warning in a study published Wednesday in Nature magazine.<\/p>\n

Noting that 38% of the Amazon is being degraded, the researchers said \u201cwe estimate that by 2050, 10% to 47% of Amazonian forests will be exposed to compounding disturbances that may trigger unexpected ecosystem transitions and potentially exacerbate regional climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor 65 million years, Amazonian forests remained relatively resilient to climatic variability,\u201d they said, emphasizing that if humidity levels continue to drop, the Amazon will likely turn into an arid area.<\/p>\n

The Amazon forests are described as the “lungs of the world” because they produce a large part of the world’s oxygen.<\/p>\n
