👉 Forestage is a concept in ecological science that refers to the gradual decline of forests as they are cleared for agriculture, logging, and other human activities. Forests provide crucial services such as timber, soil fertility, water storage, carbon sequestration, and habitat for wildlife. As these species move from forests to other habitats, their populations decrease or even disappear altogether. This process is known as forest succession and it can have significant impacts on ecosystem functions and stability.
