Assessing the Impact of Climate Change on Biodiversity in a Tropical Rainforest Ecosystem

Project Abstract

Climate change is a global phenomenon that has significant implications for biodiversity, particularly in sensitive ecosystems such as tropical rainforests. This research project aims to assess the impact of climate change on biodiversity in a tropical rainforest ecosystem, focusing on understanding the ecological changes occurring and the potential consequences for species diversity and ecosystem functioning. Through a combination of field surveys, data analysis, and modeling techniques, this study seeks to provide valuable insights into the dynamics of biodiversity in the face of changing climatic conditions.
