ATTO - Amazon Tall Tower Observatory @ATTOresearch

#AirPollution is usually worse in cities, compared to the pristine forest. But sometimes it's worth to take a closer look. And that's what Dr. Haijie Tong and co-authors did in a new study at ATTO, in Beijing and other sites: https://t.co/2BtYDGiwr7 @ACSPublications https://t.co/G1n3HjZ6Vz

Studying interactions between forest & atmosphere and their impact on the climate from an observatory with a 325m tall tower in the Amazon rainforest

Instagram post 2165432449180996365_7854897108 Look at those fall colors at ATTO🍁🍂! Wait, what? Isn’t the #AmazonRainforest an evergreen forest🌳? Well, yes, but trees here also shed their leaves regularly🍃. Except that this doesn’t happen in the fall (which doesn’t exist) and pretty much all trees immediately regrow their leaves. This leaf turnover usually happens during the dry season and leaves show all sorts of colors. Some trees actually flush red leaves🍁! That means that they contain tannins and flavonoids instead of chlorophyll, protecting them from insects and intense sunlight. Others flush in bright, light shades of green🌿, or green with a hint of pink🍂. Beyond the pretty colors, this cycle is actually very important. Young and mature leaves are more productive and perform much more photosynthesis than old leaves.But why do so many trees follow that particular cycle of shedding and re-growing in the dry season? Is it to save water💧? To protect leaves from herbivore insects🐜? To most effectively use the available sunlight for photosynthesis☀️? Well, we don’t know yet, but we’re trying to find out at ATTO! Understanding these processes will, for example, help us to better capture photosynthetic capacity in climate models. .📷 by Paulo Brando, Iris Moebius & Pedro Assis.#rainforest #dryseason #fall #autumn #fallcolors #leaves #treesofinstagram #trees #jungle #Amazon #Amazonia #Amazonas #florestaamazonica #herbst #herbstfarben #brazil #brasilien #forest_captures #forest #changingcolors #earthscience #biology #botany #EarthLens #LeafPhenology #forestscience #ecology #biology
Instagram post 2152206114171896622_7854897108 Looking out across the #AmazonRainforest from the top of the tall tower is really humbling. Through the morning mist, you can see some 20-30 kilometers. Beyond that, this magnificent forest extends for hundreds of kilometers in all directions, and even over thousands in the east and west. To my brain, that is pretty close to infinity! 📷 by Iris Moebius / MPI-BGC#florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #research #fieldwork #science #earthscience #environment #Amazonia #AmazonReseach #tropicalforests #EarthSystemResearch #climate #climatescience #ecology #forestscience #lifeofascientist #atmosphericscience #infinity #infiniteforest #truewilderness #forest_captures #forestviews #forestview #forest

A #climatestrike message from our #scientistsforfuture at ATTO, where scientists from Brazil 🇧🇷 and Germany 🇩🇪 and indeed all over the world come together for a common goal: To learn more about the unique ecosystems of the #AmazonRainforest that is of such global importance, and to preserve it for future generations. #AmazonResearch#Amazon #florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #greenocean #research #fieldwork #science #earthscience #environment #Amazonia #AmazonReseach #tropicalforests #EarthSystemResearch #climate #climatescience #ecology #forestscience #fungi #lifeofascientist #atmosphericscience #FridayFeeling #fridaysforfuture #gretathunberg #ProtectAndRestore
Instagram post 2141548695743662837_7854897108 We don't see snakes 🐍 all too often at ATTO (and never had any accidents with them 🤞), but they are never far. This fellow is likely a Bothrops, possibly a Jararaca (Bothrops jararaca), a genus of pit vipers. They are endemic to Central and Southern America and pretty poissonous 😰 This one was spotted underneath the broadwalk right by the 80m tower. It's a good reminder that we should always stay vigilant and pay attention to our surroundings, especially at when leaving the walk ways and at night time. #wildlifediaries 📽 by Antonio. . #Amazon #AmazonRainforest #florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #research #fieldwork #science #earthscience #environment #Amazonia #AmazonReseach #tropicalforests #EarthSystemResearch #climate #climatescience #ecology #forestscience #lifeofascientist #snake #bothrops #jararaca #pitviper #snakesoftheamazon #amazonsnakes #Lanzenotter #grubenotter
