This comprehensive collection showcases five peer-reviewed reviews that delve into the diverse range of ecosystem services provided by forests. In the opening chapter, the current state of knowledge regarding the intricate interplay between forest ecosystems and the climate system is summarized, highlighting the profound influence of forests on the water cycle. The second chapter delves into the rich biodiversity found in tropical forests, exploring the diverse range of species, functional groups, and ecological processes that emerge as a result of this remarkable ecosystem. Additionally, the chapter addresses the primary threats facing tropical forest biodiversity, emphasizing the need for conservation efforts.
The third chapter focuses on the significance of forest carbon content and the methods employed to monitor and assess it. It explores the mechanisms driving forest carbon storage and engages in a thoughtful discussion on whether forests should be considered carbon sources or sinks. The fourth chapter highlights the role of sustainable forest management (SFM) in maintaining or enhancing biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. Through the use of two case studies, successful implementation of SFM in Ireland and Canada is demonstrated.
The concluding chapter explores the benefits of introducing agroforestry into agroecosystems, emphasizing its influence on soil health. It discusses the numerous benefits of agroforestry systems on key soil physical, chemical, and biological properties, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices.
Overall, this collection provides a valuable insight into the multifaceted roles of forests in supporting ecosystems and promoting sustainable development. It serves as a resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners interested in understanding the ecological, economic, and social significance of forests.
