"Seventy percent of the world's remaining forests are within 1
kilometer of a road," Lovejoy said. "Which is a measure of how
advanced fragmentation is."
Deforestation could dry out the Amazon, but a warmer climate might do the same.
The length of the dry season here is expected to increase due to
climate change, and in fact, that already seems to be happening in
some Amazon regions. And this, in turn, could not only threaten
regional hydrology but push a transition to less carbon-dense forests
- in some cases even exacerbating the possibility of wildfires that
could transform tropical forests into a different, savannah-like
environment.
Thus, both continuing deforestation and a warming climate alike
threaten the carbon storage, and the rain generation, of the vast
Amazon system. It's not one menace - it's two that are closely
intertwined.
Forests become part of the climate story
The forests section of the recent Paris climate agreement wasn't one
of the most noted or debated sections. And it wasn't as strong as
some would have liked. But the mere fact that it was there was a
landmark, Lovejoy said.

"Up until the late 1950s, tillage (plowing) released more carbon
dioxide into the atmosphere than all the burning of oil and coal in
history."
" ... not tilling the soil begins to build up the carbon content of
the soil. You might call this 'carbon farming'."
"Obviously, these programs are currently not big money-makers for farmers."
