Abstract
The Amazon Rainforest, the largest tropical rainforest in the world, is a crucial component of the Earth's ecosystem, providing habitat for an immense diversity of species. This study conducts a meta-analysis to assess the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) in the Amazon. Through the synthesis of data from over 150 studies, we examine how species richness, functional diversity, and ecosystem services are interconnected. Our findings indicate that increased biodiversity is strongly correlated with enhanced ecosystem resilience and productivity. The results underscore the importance of conserving biodiversity to maintain the ecological balance and functionality of the Amazon Rainforest.
