Biodiversity
Different tree species support different insects, birds, fungi and mammals.
A strong forest is more than lots of trees. It needs the right species for the climate, a mix of ages and roles, habitat for wildlife, healthy soil, water protection and benefits for people. Choose a region, plant a diverse 4x4 forest and watch the ecosystem scores change.
Different tree species support different insects, birds, fungi and mammals.
Trees store carbon in trunks, roots, leaves and soil, but storage depends on species and forest health.
Diverse forests are better able to cope with drought, pests, disease, fire and climate change.
Forests can provide shade, food, materials, flood protection, culture, livelihoods and wellbeing.
