Amazonia: Can a dead fly influence the CO2 balance? - Amazon, carbon sink or carbon producer?

The approach shows the importance of the Amazon in the role of carbon production and sequestration, where plant diversity shows the heterogeneity of the processes. The process of production of dead biomass by the forest shows that at times the forest can behave both as a carbon sink and as a producer, due to the large amount of dead material. This material that falls and enters the decomposition process plays a fundamental role in various biogeochemical cycles in the Amazon.
