Perhaps the count of endemic species may determine the environmental potential of virgin forest ecosystems or abundance of particular economically valuable trees/plants
Nurturing existing biodiversity in the forest and ensuring that protection level is continuously monitored. High level of protection will ensure that biodiversity existing within it are protected and also reducing emissions stock level.
Two thoughts;
1) Environmental potential begs the question, 'who's the master'? If we see nature as the master then their is unlimited potential and very few 'restoration needs'. When we or our management is the master, that 'potential' becomes fraught with externalizations and unintended consequences that show up as restoration needs.Our analysis needs to include all sides of the equations with causes and effects.
2) What is a virgin forest ecosystem?.
In virgin forest ecosystem all the life forms are intersts. in soil and on soil
it must be very interest to focus the reasearch about the small organisms especially insects and microorganisms.
These last determine the imprtance and the really role of this kind of complex ecosystem especiallyin there is no far a destroyed areas by fire which are very interest to comare the biological activity of micro species and the speed of the nutrints recycle ...
