Abstract

This study investigates the effects of climate change on biodiversity in tropical rainforests. Through extensive field research and data analysis, we document shifts in species distribution, phenological changes, and ecosystem disruptions. Our findings indicate that rising temperatures and altered precipitation patterns are causing significant stress on rainforest ecosystems, leading to decreased biodiversity and potential ecosystem collapse in certain regions. We propose conservation strategies and policy recommendations to mitigate these impacts.
