What is a Forest?
The word forest does not imply woodland.
The forest ecosystem includes additional species.
A forest contains physical and chemical processes, such as energy flow and nutrient cycling.
Forests include smaller plants, fungi, bacteria, animals, shrub layer, herb layer and moss layer.
Forests are basic to human life because they store carbon, produce oxygen, regulate climate, purify the water.
Forests contain 90% of the terrestrial biodiversity.
