Wildfire smoke has an unexpected effect on the #Amazon rainforest 🌳🔥

A ✨NEW STUDY led by @globalecounit.bsky.social published in @natgeosci.nature.com shows that smoke from tropical fires carries phosphorus—a key nutrient—that fertilizes intact forests and boosts tree growth

🍃 A quiet phosphorus decline is starving plants and cutting their carbon absorption — a warning that we may need stronger climate action to compensate.

🌱 Tropical forest soils in French Guiana exchange terpenes with the air. Adding N or P changes this: more emissions in wet season, less uptake in dry. Could affect ecosystems & the atmosphere!

🌳Young forests are stronger C sinks, because trees grow fast but also because soil microbes are ⬆️active fixing CO₂
🔄Restoring or maintaining areas in different growth stages could balance C storage & fixation
