Forest diversity refers to the variety of plant and animal species present in a forest ecosystem. It is an important aspect of biodiversity and plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and resilience of forests. Research in this area focuses on understanding the factors that contribute to forest diversity, such as climate, soil conditions, and disturbance events, as well as the ecological relationships between different species within a forest. Scientists study how changes in forest composition and species richness can impact ecosystem functions, such as nutrient cycling, carbon storage, and water regulation. This research provides valuable insights for conservation efforts and sustainable forest management practices.
