The Role of Biodiversity in Making Forests Resilient

Résumé fourni par la source

Biodiversity supports key services like regulation of climate and nutrient cycles as well as wood production, which benefit both nature and people.This is particularly important for forests under pressure from climate change and increased disturbances, affecting forest's health and resilience.Biodiversity is tightly linked to disturbances: A healthy and diverse forest is better equipped to recover from storms, fires, and droughts.At the same time, disturbances can have diverse effects on biodiversity, either leading to biodiversity loss or providing opportunities for biodiversity enhancement.This brief highlights how biodiversity -in our case mainly focusing on different species of trees and plants -makes forests stronger and more adaptable.It also explores how disturbances and biodiversity are intertwined.Finally, you will learn how changes in forest management towards increased tree diversity can support both forest resilience and wood production while preparing for future challenges.www.resonateforest.org
