Abstract

Integrating Tree Diversity into Forest Restoration Management for Multifunctional Ecosystems

Simon Ecke

Forests are not merely collections of trees-they are intricate
ecosystems teeming with diverse life forms, ecological processes,
and complex interactions. Among the most vital attributes of a
healthy forest is tree diversity, which plays a foundational role in
maintaining ecosystem functions, improving resilience to climate
change, and supporting biodiversity. As the world confronts the
challenges of deforestation, land degradation, and biodiversity
loss, forest restoration management has emerged as a critical
strategy. Integrating tree diversity into restoration projects is not
only ecologically sound but also essential for ensuring the long-
term success and sustainability of restored landscapes.
