Precipitation decreases across the Amazon and Cerrado biomes under high greenhouse gas emissions, with 91% and 23% of their respective areas showing robust long-term drying.
Annual precipitation changes range from 3% to −33% by 2100 under pessimistic pathways, driven by especially sharp precipitation reductions between September and November.
Evaluation of 34 downscaled global climate models demonstrates satisfactory skill, suggesting these ensemble precipitation projections can reliably guide future hydrological investigations.

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Simulation study demonstrates a substantial decline in future precipitation across Amazon and Cerrado biomes, indicating increasing hydrological risks under severe emissions.
