Forest Ecosystems and Society

Forest ecosystems are intricate communities where trees, plants, animals, and microorganisms interact within their environment, providing essential services like clean air, water, and climate regulation. Society benefits from forests through resources such as timber, medicines, and recreation, while also relying on their ecological health. Maintaining forest ecosystems requires understanding their biological and environmental functions, balancing human needs with conservation. A sustainable approach ensures forests continue to support biodiversity, store carbon, and provide economic and cultural benefits for current and future generations.
