Multifunctionality and Biodiversity of Forest Ecosystems

  • Published:
Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

This article dwells upon the current understanding of the multifunctionality of forest ecosystems and links between multifunctionality and biodiversity, as well as the trade-offs and synergy between the ecosystem functions (EFs) and services of forests. The relevance of studying ecosystem services (ES’s) is determined by the modern societal needs that have emerged as a result of global economic and population growth. Forest ecosystems provide multiple services simultaneously; i.e., they possess a multifunctionality trait. The majority of studies, however, focus on the relationships between biodiversity and individual ES’s. Therefore, the impact of biodiversity loss on ES’s is greatly underestimated due to the underdeveloped methodology and tools taking into account the multifunctionality of ecosystems. We propose a conceptual scheme of the linkages among biodiversity, multiple functions, and multiple services, including the factors affecting these links. The interdisciplinary concept of links and their introduction to support administrative decision-making necessitates addressing the following: identifying informative indicators of the links and assessing the synergies and trade-offs between various EFs. Reaching those objectives will allow us not only to obtain new fundamental knowledge about processes involved in the functioning of forest ecosystems, but also create markets for ES’s that have not been considered marketable previously and ensure steady, sustainable forest use.
