Forest management is the science-based practice of sustainably managing forest ecosystems through silviculture, conservation, and protection strategies. For plant science, it is fundamental to understanding plant ecology, biodiversity, and genetic preservation at ecosystem scales. This integration of plant biology with forest stewardship enables evidence-based approaches to maintaining plant health, species diversity, and ecosystem resilience.
