The Forest and Biodiversity


The forest ecosystem consists of a large population of trees growing on the land.  Forests also provide a habitat for a large number of other species such as micro-organisms, plants and animals.  The majority of these species can only live in a forest ecosystem, and would not be able to survive in other habitats.  

The following document, prepared by Stephanie Vassallo, includes information about  the rich biodiversity that is present in forests.  She focused mainly on the Greater Mekong forest, and on the Cricket-chirping frog.
