Forest resilience and disturbance: What role does biodiversity play?

Résumé fourni par la source

it is key to cope with disturbances: Forests with higher species and functional diversity are less likely to experience large-scale die-offs, as tree species respond differently to stress and disturbances.Note ⇨ this effect is larger if you mix different species, such as slow-and fast-growing ones it can stabilize productivity: Higher tree diversity can increase the safety and stability of forest production, making it a strategic asset for forest management for timber production. Note ⇨ productivity may decrease with more slow-growing speciesit is non-replaceable: Forest biodiversity is one of the hardest ecosystem services to substitute.it provides holistic values: Biodiversity is highly valued and supports the adaptive capacity of forests, to ensure resilience for ecosystems and society.
