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. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $a1961-1990 normal period 610 $aafforestation 610 $aAHP 610 $aAichi Biodiversity Targets 610 $aarid-hot valley 610 $abiodiversity conservation 610 $abirch stands 610 $aBornean tropical rain forests 610 $aBrazilian Atlantic Forest 610 $acarbon stock 610 $aCivilian Control Zone 610 $adehydrogenase activity 610 $aDelphi Method 610 $aDMZ 610 $adry deciduous forest 610 $aecological mathematics 610 $aEcological resilience 610 $aecosystem conservation 610 $aecosystem services enhancement 610 $aendangered plant 610 $aenvironmental factors 610 $aex situ conservation 610 $afactor analysis 610 $afire disturbance 610 $aforest certification 610 $aforest intactness 610 $aforest land change 610 $aforest landscape 610 $aforest management 610 $aForest Stewardship Council (FSC) 610 $ageostatistics 610 $aGIS 610 $ahuman well-being 610 $aland change patterns 610 $aLANDIS 610 $aMadagascar 610 $aMCDA 610 $amultivariate analysis 610 $aParis Climate Agreement 610 $aplant reintroduction 610 $aPrincipal Component Analysis 610 $areduced-impact logging 610 $aremote sensing 610 $areservoir region 610 $aRio Canoas State Park 610 $asclerophyllous forest 610 $aseed germination 610 $aseedling propagation 610 $asmall forest landowner 610 $aspatial analysis 610 $aspatial interpolation 610 $astructural equation modeling (SEM) 610 $aSustainable Development 610 $aSustainable Development Goals 610 $asustainable development goals (SDGs) 610 $asustainable forest management 610 $aThe Great Xing'an Mountains 610 $atree-community composition 610 $avegetation 610 $aWetlands 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aGanatsas$b Petros$4edt$01322385 702 $aGanatsas$b Petros$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557690103321 996 $aForest Biodiversity, Conservation and Sustainability$93034940 997 $aUNINA
