The world's largest rainforest is fast losing its ability to bounce back from human impacts, researchers say.
The findings, based on three decades of satellite data, show alarming trends in the "health" of the Amazon rainforest.
"The Amazon stores lots of carbon and all of that would be released into the atmosphere, which would then further contribute to increasing temperatures and have future effects on global mean temperatures," Dr Boulton said, adding that stopping deforestation would go some way to addressing the problem.
The research was carried out by the University of Exeter, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Technical University of Munich.
