Definition(s)

  • Forests are one of the dominant forms of land cover on earth, and forested landscapes are central in constituting human environment relationships. Human relations with forests are also highly specific, complex, and dynamic, featuring considerable historical and geographical variation, making a universal definition of what actually constitutes a forest difficult.
