abstract = "The Amazon Basin is at the center of an intensifying discourse
about deforestation, land-use, and global change. To date, climate
research in the Basin has overwhelmingly focused on the cycling
and storage of carbon (C) and its implications for global climate.
Missing, however, is a more comprehensive consideration of other
significant biophysical climate feedbacks [i.e., CH4, N2O, black
carbon, biogenic volatile organic compounds (BV0Cs), aerosols,
evapotranspiration, and albedo] and their dynamic responses to
both localized (fire, land-use change, infrastructure development,
and storms) and global (warming, drying, and some related to El
Nino or to warming in the tropical Atlantic) changes. Here, we
synthesize the current understanding of (1) sources and fluxes of
all major forcing agents, (2) the demonstrated or expected impact
of global and local changes on each agent, and (3) the nature,
extent, and drivers of anthropogenic change in the Basin. We
highlight the large uncertainty in flux magnitude and responses,
and their corresponding direct and indirect effects on the
regional and global climate system. Despite uncertainty in their
responses to change, we conclude that current warming from non-CO2
agents (especially CH4 and N2O) in the Amazon Basin largely
offsets- and most likely exceeds-the climate service provided by
atmospheric CO2 uptake. We also find that the majority of
anthropogenic impacts act to increase the radiative forcing
potential of the Basin. Given the large contribution of
less-recognized agents (e.g., Amazonian trees alone emit similar
to 3.5\% of all global CH4), a continuing focus on a single
metric (i.e., C uptake and storage) is incompatible with genuine
efforts to understand and manage the biogeochemistry of climate in
a rapidly changing Amazon Basin.",
