Forest Dynamics

Forest dynamics refers to the changes and processes that occur within forest ecosystems over time. This includes how trees grow, die, and interact with each other, as well as how disturbances like fire, storms, or human activities shape the forest. Forest dynamics also considers the regeneration of plants, shifts in species composition, and the influence of climate on these changes. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for conservation, as they reveal how forests respond to environmental pressures, ensuring their health and biodiversity for future generations.
