Among all the biota that exist on Earth, forest ecosystems demonstrate a high degree of biodiversity, being thought to comprise the most diverse ecosystems, as most of the terrestrial species in the world dwell in these ecosystems. Forest biodiversity is interlinked to a web of socio-economic factors, providing an array of goods and services that range from timber and non-timber forest resources to mitigating climate change and conservation of genetic resources; therefore, it is innately linked to ecosystems and human well-being. However, in recent decades, the decrease in forest biodiversity has been a crucial and ongoing environmental issue that needs special attention and adapted ecosystem management. This Special Issue book on forest biodiversity (FB) includes a selected number of research works from all over the world dealing with emerging issues, for understanding FB and its needs for conservation, ecological processes, disturbances, climate change and ecosystems resilience, structural complexity and ecosystem functions, ecological theories and silvicultural practices, and ecosystems stability. More specifically, it includes papers focused on the indicators and methods for assessing and monitoring forest biodiversity, evaluation of practices, planting and silvicultural treatments, and management and monitoring methods, with an overall goal to provide new insights on forest biodiversity conservation, conservation of forest biodiversity in protected areas, treatments of endangered or threatened forest habitats, and sustainable management of forest resources.Technology: general issuesbicssc1961-1990 normal periodafforestationAHPAichi Biodiversity Targetsarid-hot valleybiodiversity conservationbirch standsBornean tropical rain forestsBrazilian Atlantic Forestcarbon stockCivilian Control Zonedehydrogenase activityDelphi MethodDMZdry deciduous forestecological mathematicsEcological resilienceecosystem conservationecosystem services enhancementendangered plantenvironmental factorsex situ conservationfactor analysisfire disturbanceforest certificationforest intactnessforest land changeforest landscapeforest managementForest Stewardship Council (FSC)geostatisticsGIShuman well-beingland change patternsLANDISMadagascarMCDAmultivariate analysisParis Climate Agreementplant reintroductionPrincipal Component Analysisreduced-impact loggingremote sensingreservoir regionRio Canoas State Parksclerophyllous forestseed germinationseedling propagationsmall forest landownerspatial analysisspatial interpolationstructural equation modeling (SEM)Sustainable DevelopmentSustainable Development Goalssustainable development goals (SDGs)sustainable forest managementThe Great Xing'an Mountainstree-community compositionvegetationWetlandsTechnology: general issuesGanatsas Petrosedt1322385Ganatsas PetrosothBOOK9910557690103321Forest Biodiversity, Conservation and Sustainability3034940UNINA
