The Amazon rainforest stores large amounts of carbon, supporting climate regulation.
Data gapsSpecific carbon-stock sources still to be itemised.
The Amazon rainforest provides habitat for a very large share of terrestrial biodiversity.
The Amazon is associated with regional rainfall generation ('flying rivers') that can influence agriculture.
Data gapsStrength of the effect varies regionally.
Amazon forest cover contributes to water cycling through evapotranspiration.
Rainfall regulation supports regional agriculture and water availability.
Data gapsQuantitative dependency strength not yet modelled.
The Amazon provides habitat for high levels of biodiversity.
Forest restoration can support biodiversity habitat and carbon storage.
Data gapsOutcomes depend on method, scale and time.
Weakening rainfall regulation may create risks for agriculture and water systems.
Data gapsThresholds and regional variation not yet quantified.
Amazon ecosystem degradation can create cascading risks across ecological and human systems.
Data gapsCascade magnitudes are illustrative, not yet quantified.
