Trees in the rainforest are being cut down, because farmers want this land for raising cattle.
The climate is normally 72-93 degrees Fahrenheit and normally gets at least 80-120 inches rain per year.
The structure of the canopy allows many different plants and animals to survive
As more trees are destroyed the climate has in turn been rising. This has caused varying rainfall in the southern regions of the Amazon. This also can cause animals that rely on these trees to die in droves or go completely extinct. This can also happen to the trees that rely on these animals as well
There is also a very important relationship between the plants and animals
For example, Brazilian nut trees rely on the agouti for survival and the agouti rely on the trees. The agouti spread the trees seeds allowing for more of them to grow
Rainfall is intercepted by the canopy and shallow tree roots take up the rain . Decaying vegetation quickly becomes nutrients.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenburg announced on September 16, 2008 that Norway's government would donate 1 billion United States dollars to the Amazon Fund.
In September 2015, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff told the United Nations that Brazil had effectively reduced the rate of deforestation in the Amazon by 82 percent.

The Amazon has very light winds. The average wind speed above the canopy is 10 kilometers per hour and the average wind speed below the canopy is about 5 kilometers per hour.

Biotic and abiotic factors affect carrying capacity by affecting the environments ability to support organisms. For example as more trees are cut down, farmers will bring in more cattle, causing the grass growing there to die. The cow feces that would normally fertilize the grass, starts to kill it in large quantities. This would in turn reduce the amount of organisms this area can properly support.

As the amount of trees starts to dwindle, birds and other animals that live in trees will start to compete more for space. This will lead to a higher amount of predation as the animals that would normally live in these trees are more vulnerable to predatory animals. Also the amount of cows moving in will most likely cause a higher rate of disease in areas.
