Abstract
This study investigates the impact of indigenous plant species on soil restoration and carbon sequestration in the Amazon Rainforest. Using a combination of field experiments and remote sensing technology, we examined the soil health and carbon storage capacity of areas reforested with native species compared to those with non-native species. Our findings reveal that indigenous plants significantly enhance soil fertility and increase carbon sequestration rates, contributing to climate change mitigation. The results underscore the importance of preserving native biodiversity and utilizing local plant species in reforestation efforts.
