D4.2.3—Amazon rainforest deforestation Topic Practice
D4.2.3—Amazon rainforest deforestation Topic Practice
Students practise interpreting climate and hydrological data to evaluate Amazon deforestation impacts on regional water cycling and biome resilience.
How this is tested
- predict reduced rainfall recycling using transpiration loss data from deforested versus intact Amazon catchment
- explain how diminished regional cooling and lowered cloud formation increase savanna transition risk in deforested
