abstract = "Tropical forests are recognized for their role in providing
diverse ecosystem services (ESs), with carbon uptake the best
recognized. The capacity of tropical forests to provide ESs is
strongly linked to their enormous biodiversity. However, causal
relationships between biodiversity and ESs are poorly understood.
This may be because biodiversity is often translated into species
richness. Here, we argue that focusing on multiple attributes of
biodiversity-structure, composition, and function-will make
relationships between biodiversity and ESs clearer. In this
review, we discuss the ecological processes behind ESs from
tropical humid and subhumid forests of South America. Our main
goal is to understand the links between the ESs and those three
biodiversity attributes. While supporting and regulating services
relate more closely to forest structure and function, provisioning
services relate more closely to forest composition and function,
and cultural services are more related to structure and
composition attributes. In this sense, ESs from subhumid forests
(savannas) differ from those provided by the Amazon Forest,
although both ecosystems are recognized as harboring tremendous
biodiversity. Given this, if anthropogenic drivers of change
promote a shift in the Amazon Forest toward savanna-the
savannization hypothesis-the types of services provided will
change, especially climate regulating services. This review
emphasizes the importance of deeply understanding ecosystem
structure, composition, and function to better understand the
services ecosystems provide. Understanding that anthropogenic
impacts on biodiversity occur through these three main attributes,
it becomes easier to anticipate how humans will impact ESs.",
