Abstract

Forest Ecology Classification and Sustainable Management of Above Ground Biomass

Annika Lonkila

Forests are dynamic ecosystems that play a critical role in global
ecological balance. One of the most crucial components of forest
systems is Above Ground Biomass (AGB)-the total mass of living
vegetation above the soil, including trees, shrubs, and
understory. AGB serves as a key indicator of forest productivity,
carbon sequestration capacity, and overall ecosystem health.
Understanding forest ecology classifications and implementing
sustainable management strategies are essential for maintaining
and enhancing AGB, especially in the context of climate change,
biodiversity loss, and resource demands.
