💰 Biodiversity in Production Forests
Published by OOPSONLINE.IN · Source: Phys.org · 1 min read · · Updated
What actually happened
Forests provide timber as well as many other ecosystem services. An important question is how measures to conserve biodiversity affect the profitability of forest operations focused on wood production. Researchers from Wageningen University & Research and the University of Freiburg reviewed studies worldwide that compared forest management with biodiversity conservation measures against business-as-usual management without those measures. The work is published in the journal Current Forestry Reports.
