Forests Under Threat: Climate Change and the Need for Sustainable Management

More about the book

Climate change is severely impacting spruce trees, leading to a phenomenon known as "spruce decline." Rising temperatures and erratic precipitation weaken these trees, making them susceptible to pests like the bark beetle. This decline not only threatens timber production and biodiversity but also disrupts water cycles and carbon absorption, potentially worsening climate change. To combat this issue, urgent measures are necessary, including promoting diverse tree populations and enhancing forest resilience to safeguard these essential ecosystems.
