Answer 1

• A forest ecosystem is a natural woodland unit consisting of all plants, animals, and micro-organisms (Biotic components) in that area functioning together with all of the non-living physical (abiotic) factors of the environment.
• The significant services that a healthy forest ecosystem provides include goods such as timber, food, fuel, and bioproducts, ecological functions such as carbon storage, nutrient cycling, water, and air purification and maintenance of wildlife habitat.
