An improved understanding of forest dynamics is needed to better predict environmental change. New research suggests that a new generation of realistic forest modelling, which is urgently needed and now within reach, will significantly improve an understanding of how forests work, how tree species respond to deforestation, and how forests impact climate regulation and environmental change. The world's forests play a vital role in understanding and predicting future climate change.
