Tropical Forest Ecosystem Services in Improving Livelihoods For Local Communities

  • 257 Accesses

Abstract

Ecosystem services are processes in which the environment supplies benefits to humans and are classified into four major categories, including provisioning services, supporting services, regulating services, and cultural services. The increasing number of invasive pests and pathogens entering Malaysia signifies that the threat to forests is escalating along with climate change and globalization. In recent years, massive epidemics of forest diseases have devastated natural ecosystems and landscapes valued for timber and extended benefits to the community. Thus, an impeccable balance is required between food production to fulfill the global survival and maintenance of the other services supplied by the ecosystem services. This section reviews and discusses how the forest pathology system influences ecosystem services, specifically its effects on trees and forest diseases.
