In the context of forest ecosystem goods and services, as well as future sustainable forest resource management, the associated implications would be: Tree species richness is vital for maintaining forest productivity.
Several REDD+ cost studies have been conducted [2 6] asserting that payments for maintaining forest carbon stocks have significant potential to be a cost-effective climate change mitigation and human development measure.
Using the near complete loss of native vertebrate seed dispersers from the island of Guam we examine the importance of seed dispersal for maintaining forest seedbanks.
Several previous global REDD+ cost studies have been conducted, demonstrating that payments for maintaining forest carbon stocks have significant potential to be a cost-effective mechanism for climate change mitigation.
We predicted that if vertebrate seed dispersers are important for maintaining forest seedbanks, then we would see differences in the distribution and composition of the seedbank on Guam relative to Saipan and Rota.

Costa Rica has a pioneering ecosystem services law that, among other things, rewards landholders financially for maintaining forests and thus reliable water flow for downstream hydroelectric generation.
These findings not only highlight the importance of dispersers for building and maintaining forest seedbanks, but suggest another mechanism by which current global declines in vertebrate assemblages could have important implications for forest persistence.
The ecological consequences of slash pile burning are a concern for land managers charged with maintaining forest soil productivity and native plant diversity.
Longer rotations (e.g., 80 years) are better than shorter rotations (20 or 30 years) for the long-term maintenance of site productivity, though the recommended rotation length for maximizing carbon sequestration and maintaining forest productivity is 40 60 years.
It makes sense, therefore, to come up with ways to make maintaining forest as rewarding for Brazil as it is for the world, once the broader benefits and opportunity-costs are taken into account.
