QUE ES LA FORESTERÍA ANÁLOGA?
Analog forestry is an ecological land use management approach that aims to create diverse, resilient, and productive ecosystems similar to natural forests. It involves planting a variety of native and exotic trees, shrubs, and other plants in a way that mimics the structure and function of a natural forest ecosystem. The term "analog" refers to the idea that these planted ecosystems are analogous to natural forests in terms of their structure, diversity, and ecological functions.
Analog forestry can help mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change. Here are some ways in which analog forestry can address climate change:
