Forest as a Health Resource

Joachim Rathmann presents the interdisciplinary links between forests and human health.

Forests provide numerous ecosystem services for the survival, well-being, and maintenance and enhancement of human health.

Forests provide multisensory recreational spaces and can therefore be considered a resource that positively impacts both physical, mental, and social aspects of health.

The author presents natural science, social science, and humanities research in an understandable, clear, and concise manner for a diverse readership.
