Area of Science:

  • Ecology
  • Environmental Science
  • Forestry

Context:

  • Ecosystem health assessment is crucial in the 21st century, with forest ecosystems being a key terrestrial component.
  • Existing research has broadly defined, measured, and evaluated forest ecosystem health, proposing various theories and frameworks.
  • Despite attention, a universally accepted operational model for assessing forest ecosystem health is lacking due to limitations.

Purpose:

  • To discuss the challenges and preconditions for assessing forest ecosystem health.
  • To propose three essential preconditions: a clear conceptual framework, adequate data sets, and proper research techniques.
  • To explore potential approaches for advancing forest ecosystem health assessment research.

Summary:

  • This paper addresses the complexities of forest ecosystem health assessment.
