Understanding forest degradation - a review of forest structure indicators

Forest degradation has profoundly impacted the forest structure which has affected the carbon stock, biodiversity, microclimate and function of the ecosystem. This consequently reduces the forest’s capacity in providing goods and services. Forest degradation is typically a multi-stage anthropologica...
