Forest functional level assessment is a critical component of sustainable forest management, providing valuable insights into the health and productivity of forest ecosystems. It involves evaluating various aspects of forest structure, composition, and processes to determine how well a forest performs its ecological functions, such as carbon sequestration, water filtration, and biodiversity support.
Assessing forest functional level helps identify areas for improvement and informs management decisions to enhance forest health and resilience. By understanding the functional level of a forest, stakeholders can develop targeted strategies to address specific challenges and optimize forest management practices.
