The aggregated knowledge is presented to cover the approaches adopted in studying forest structure, its growth, functioning, and degradation, especially in the context of the surrounding environment. The application of advance computation, instrumentation, and modelling has been elaborated in various chapters. Forest ecosystems are rapidly changing due to forest fires, deforestation, urbanization, climate change, and other natural and anthropogenic drivers. Understanding the dynamics of forest ecosystems requires contemporary methods and measures, utilizing modern tools and big data for developing effective conservation plans. The book also covers discussion on policies for sustainable forestry, agroforestry, environmental governance, socio-ecology, nature-based solutions, and management implication. It is suitable for a wide range of readers working in the field of scientific forestry, policy making, and forest management. In addition, it is a useful material for postgraduate and research students of forestry sciences. 606 $aForests and forestry 606 $aEcology 606 $aEcology 606 $aHuman ecology$xStudy and teaching 606 $aBioclimatology 606 $aForestry 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aEcology 606 $aEnvironmental Studies 606 $aClimate Change Ecology 615 0$aForests and forestry. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aHuman ecology$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aBioclimatology. 615 14$aForestry. 615 24$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aEcology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Studies. 615 24$aClimate Change Ecology. 676 $a333.7516 702 $aKumar$b Manoj 702 $aDhyani$b Shalini 702 $aKalra$b Naveen 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910568278903321 996 $aForest dynamics and conservation$92992934 997 $aUNINA
