| Abstract | The Amazon biome provides multiple environmental services, of which maintaining water cycles, conserving carbon stocks and biodiversity are among the most important. This biome system is under threat and often seen as extremely vulnerable. Several lines of evidence, however, suggest that the system contains a degree of resilience to threats such as deforestation, economic demands and climate change. Rather, functioning of the biome services may remain robust until thresholds, or tipping points, are reached beyond which high vulnerability can shift the whole Amazon system into a different regime, such as a savanna state. We have investigated a selection of the feedbacks that are associated with such resilience. For this we investigated the 1) fate of wet valley bottoms in the face of drying, 2) the evaporative power, maintaining the water cycle, of fragmented deforestation landscapes, 3) the local drivers of deforestation and how these respond to climate and 4) the feedbacks in large-scale and international drivers and possible development scenarios for the Amazon region. The emerging picture provides a still incomplete, but linked conceptual model of Amazon resilience. Our results shows that evapotranspiration from fragmented landscapes is likely not lower, maybe even higher than that of pristine forests. This means robustness of the water cycle but possibly implies local water stress, which will be exacerbated by climatic drying. Apart from this it is known that fragmentation enhances biodiversity loss and fire risk, but we did not study that here. If wet landscape elements such as valley swamps will be stressed they will loose soil carbon as well as nutrients, therefore reducing their biomass. On the other hand economic strength and access are the main drivers for further deforestation in small-scale land-use change, while it is insensitive to climate change. At large scales the advance of agriculture into the Amazon is driven by economic demand, nationally as well as internationally, and sensitive to environmental concerns through both government regulation and consumer pressure. A key physical uncertainty is the response of agriculture to reduced rainfall, because depending on geographical region reduced rainfall may be beneficial to crops and pastures, but only down to a certain optimum value. A key socio-economic factor in the future of the Amazon is consumer behaviour, which is in principle very sensitive to environmental concern. This critically depends on whether science will be able to convey a consensus-based, clear, simple but also really effective advice on how the world can best help the Amazon region to stay robust and far removed from tipping points. |
