Forest Definition and Characteristics

A forest is defined as a large area dominated by trees and other vegetation, contributing to biodiversity and ecological balance.
Characterized by diverse plant and animal species, varying soil types, climate conditions, and canopy structures.

Agroecosystem Definition and Functions

An agroecosystem refers to a community of plants and animals interacting with the environment in agricultural settings, including crop fields and pastures.
Main function is to produce food, fiber, and other agricultural products while maintaining ecological health and productivity.

Functions of Forests and Agroecosystems

Primary function of forests includes carbon sequestration, oxygen production, habitat provision, and soil stabilization.
Agroecosystems primarily focus on the sustainable production of agricultural goods, enhancing soil fertility, and managing natural resources wisely.

Products of Forests

Common products originating from forests include timber, non-timber forest products (such as nuts and mushrooms), and various types of resin.
Specific items that are NOT products from forests must be identified from context but are excluded from typical forest outputs.

Main Function of Forestry
