Forest management practices and their impact on ecosystem service valuation

Forest Management Practices and Their Impact on Ecosystem Service Valuation explores how different approaches to managing forests influence the quantity and quality of ecosystem services they provide—such as carbon storage, water regulation, biodiversity, and recreation. Sustainable management can enhance these services, increasing their economic and social value, while poor practices may degrade forest health and reduce benefits. Understanding this relationship helps policymakers and stakeholders make informed decisions to optimize both ecological integrity and economic returns.
