Tree ring oxygen isotope records from terra firme (blue line) and floodplain (red line) sites in the Amazon show diverging trends since approximately 1980. This is a proxy for a large-scale pattern of increasing rainfall in the wet season and drying in the dry season.
New study led by Bruno Cintra @unibirmingham.bsky.social brings together work from both our PhD theses! Oxygen isotopes recorded in tree rings provide independent evidence that the Amazon water cycle has intensified, with increasing wet season rainfall and decreasing dry season rainfall since 1980.
