  Exchange of biomass between the ecosystem and the atmosphere plays an important role in regional and global carbon cycles that have a major impact on biodiversity. This study evaluated the effect of reduction in rainfall on the aboveground biomass in an Amazonian rainforest. Data for this study were obtained from the “Long-term drought impact on water and carbon dioxide fluxes in Amazonian Tropical Rainforest Experiment (ESECAFLOR)” which was a subproject of Large Scale Biosphere Atmosphere Experiment in Amazon forest (LBA), carried out in terra firma rainforest in Caxiuanã National Forest, Pará, Brazil. The experimental design entailed two experimental sites each with one hectare of natural forest: control TFE (a simulated soil drought or ‘throughfall exclusion’ experiment) under normal conditions of climate and treatment TFE with rainfall exclus..
