Forest growth is the study of how trees and other plant species within a forest grow and develop over time. This research area involves examining factors such as soil quality, climate, and species composition that impact the growth and productivity of forests. Researchers in this field use various techniques, including field measurements, remote sensing, and modeling, to understand how forests respond to environmental changes and human disturbances. The goal of studying forest growth is to better manage and conserve forest ecosystems for the benefit of biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and sustainable resource use.
