abstract = "Atmospheric carbon dioxide records indicate that the land surface
has acted as a strong global carbon sink over recent decades1, 2,
with a substantial fraction of this sink probably located in the
tropics3, particularly in the Amazon4. Nevertheless, it is unclear
how the terrestrial carbon sink will evolve as climate and
atmospheric composition continue to change. Here we analyse the
historical evolution of the biomass dynamics of the Amazon
rainforest over three decades using a distributed network of 321
plots. While this analysis confirms that Amazon forests have acted
as a long-term net biomass sink, we find a long-term decreasing
trend of carbon accumulation. Rates of net increase in
above-ground biomass declined by one-third during the past decade
compared to the 1990s. This is a consequence of growth rate
increases levelling off recently, while biomass mortality
persistently increased throughout, leading to a shortening of
carbon residence times. Potential drivers for the mortality
increase include greater climate variability, and feedbacks of
faster growth on mortality, resulting in shortened tree
longevity5. The observed decline of the Amazon sink diverges
markedly from the recent increase in terrestrial carbon uptake at
the global scale1, 2, and is contrary to expectations based on
models6.",
