A study in Nature suggests that in the absence of deforestation the Amazon forest could transition to a non-forest state with 3.7-4.0oC of global warming. With 22 to 28% deforestation a more widespread transition could occur with 1.5-1.9oC of warming🧪

The Amazon forest faces a near system-wide transition of 62−77% of the area under a combination of 1.5–1.9 °C global warming and 22−28% deforestation.
