Biosphere 2 Drought Experiment Shows 70% Carbon Storage Drop

A 2019 experiment in Arizona's Biosphere 2 interrupted rainfall in its tropical rainforest for over two months, causing carbon storage to fall by about 70% before recovery. The finding highlights the sensitivity of tropical forest carbon sinks to drought, with implications for climate models. The report is based on a single source and lacks experimental details.
