Description: Every year, strong winds pick up huge amounts of dust from the Sahara Desert and carry it thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean. This long journey ends in the Amazon rainforest, where the dust plays an important role in keeping the forest healthy. The dust is rich in minerals, especially phosphorus, which is a vital nutrient for plants. In the Amazon, heavy rains wash away many of these nutrients from the soil. The arrival of Saharan dust helps replace what is lost, acting like a natural fertilizer for the forest. Much of this dust comes from the BD in Chad, an ancient lakebed filled with fine mineral sediments. The area’s unique wind patterns make it one of the most powerful dust sources on Earth. Even though the Sahara and Amazon are on different continents, they are linked in this surprising way. Without this regular delivery of nutrients, the Amazon’s lush plant life would struggle to thrive as it does today.
