Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Trees play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon, regulating the local climate, and providing a habitat for diverse flora and fauna. Climate change has significant implications for tree growth, species distribution, and overall forest ecosystems. In the face of rapidly changing climatic conditions, understanding tree ecology and implementing effective management strategies are paramount to the preservation of forests worldwide. Effective tree ecology studies are essential for comprehending how trees interact with their environment, respond to climatic stressors, and influence ecosystem dynamics. This knowledge is instrumental in developing sustainable forest management practices that enhance resilience to changing environmental conditions.
In this era of climate change, addressing tree ecology and management challenges requires interdisciplinary approaches, innovative technologies, and adaptive strategies to ensure the long-term health and sustainability of forest ecosystems
The aim of this Special Issue on “Tree Ecology and Management in the Era of Climate Change” is to explore the dynamic interplay between tree ecosystems and changing climatic conditions, providing insights into innovative strategies for sustainable forest management, adaptation, and conservation practices in response to the challenges posed by climate change.
