BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — The Amazon rainforest stores the equivalent of almost two years of global carbon emissions, but its role as a carbon sink is under threat, according to a study released Monday.

Carbon sinks and sources in global forests (Pg C year-1) expressed as the mean annual rate across the full three-decadal period 1990 to 2019. Positive values represent carbon sinks, while negative ...
