“The Amazon produces twenty percent of Earth's oxygen.”
TL;DR ·Scientific research proves the Amazon produces significantly less than twenty percent of global oxygen.
The claim that the Amazon rainforest produces 20% of the world's oxygen is false and stems from a scientific misunderstanding . High-credibility sources estimate that the Amazon actually produces between 6% and 9% of Earth's oxygen , with some estimates even lower at 1% to 6% . Furthermore, the Amazon consumes nearly all the oxygen it produces through the respiration of its organisms and the decomposition of organic matter, making its net contribution to the atmosphere negligible . In reality, roughly half of the oxygen production on Earth comes from the ocean, primarily from oceanic plankton . While the Amazon is a vital and ineffable living wonder, it does not function as the planet's primary oxygen supplier .
