Afternoon parallel session of the Forest Biology Club
Hall 108

The ecological sustainability of forest use is the foundation, on which the functioning of forest ecosystems and other dimensions of sustainability are built. Like the wide concept of sustainability, the understanding of ecological sustainability and its goals evolves over time. Science advances our knowledge on nature, and we now have a better understanding on the various impacts that forest use has on ecosystem biodiversity, functioning and resilience. On the other hand, climate change alters the natural disturbance dynamics, structure, and species composition of forests, affecting perceptions of the natural biodiversity of each area.
Increased awareness on the importance of biodiversity has influenced also the way the society approaches its conservation. Promoting ecological sustainability is not seen only as an obligation or a cost but also as the foundation of the economy. Consideration of environmental impacts has become part of responsible practices, including measurement and reporting. Promoting biodiversity also generates new business opportunities.
The afternoon session of the Forest Biology Club will examine the ecological sustainability of forest use. How is ecological sustainability currently understood? How is it evolving as a concept and goal in the future? How is it promoted in the forestry practice?
