  abstract = {{A}mazonian forests are extraordinarily diverse, but the estimated species richness is very much debated. {H}ere, we apply an ensemble of parametric estimators and a novel technique that includes conspecific spatial aggregation to an extended database of forest plots with up-to-date taxonomy. {W}e show that the species abundance distribution of {A}mazonia is best approximated by a logseries with aggregated individuals, where aggregation increases with rarity. {B}y averaging several methods to estimate total richness, we confirm that over 15,000 tree species are expected to occur in {A}mazonia. {W}e also show that using ten times the number of plots would result in an increase to just similar to 50% of those 15,000 estimated species. {T}o get a more complete sample of all tree species, rigorous field campaigns may be needed but the number of trees in {A}mazonia will remain an estimate for years to come.},
