Biotic pump

[1] The previous hypothesis for this cycle describes how precipitation brought by winds are a direct result of changes in temperature and pressure.

[2] Additionally, we can gain further insight into the evolution of angiosperms, as well as the correlation between ecology and the interior watering of the continents.

By 2022 the concept had been more widely articulated and linked to the importance of stopping deforestation, restoring the hydrological cycle and planetary cooling.

Prior to the biotic pump theory, trees were thought to have a passive role in the water cycle.

[5] By contrast those developing the biotic pump concept state that “forest and trees are prime regulators within the water, energy and carbon cycles.”[6] In areas were there is more rain is currently being evaporated (on land versus over the ocean), the atmospheric volume decreases at a much quicker rater.

While current global climate models fit these patterns well, it is argued this is due to parametrization and not the veracity of the theories.

[8] Dr. Makarieva spent time recreationally and professionally in Russia's northern forests, the largest expanse of trees on the planet.

[9] There are thought to be four terrestrial moisture recycling hubs, the Amazon Basin, the Congo Rainforest, South Asia and the Indonesian Archipelago.

In particular, the hydrological dynamics of the Amazon Basin are still unclear, but point to the veracity of the biotic pump hypothesis.

Additionally, forested lands provide ample water for human and animal life, especially in the aptly-named rainforest.

[20]  China also has a 4,500 km Great Green Wall project planted to stop the advancing Gobi Desert.

The phrase bio-rain corridor describes a connected area of forest that maintains the flow of atmospheric moisture and precipitation.
