INCREASING OF CARBON EMISSION FROM BIOMASS

BURNING DUE TO THE TEMPERATURE RISING AND

PRECIPITATION REDUCTION IN THE AMAZON

OBJECTIVE

- Estimate the gross Carbon emission from forest

fires;

- Estimate the increase in biomass burning face to

climate change scenario.

- Recent droughts have increased the magnitude and

frequency of the forest fires in the Amazon;

- Amazon has become a Carbon source due to the

rising of the Carbon emission from biomass burned

in the El Niño events.

- Amazon will become a Carbon source even

in non-droughts years, due to the increase

of forest fires.

CONCLUSION

- There are markedly divergences in the Fire emissions across Amazon. - The Eastern has 60% more Fire counts and represents of 4 times higher Carbon emission;- Increase of 1°C << 13600 fire counts; reduction of 100 mm << 315 fire counts.- C Fire emissions balance: + 1.27 Pg.C.yr-1 by 1°C increase & + 0.2 Pg.C.yr-1 by 100 mm of precipitation reduction.
