TLDR
In this paper, the authors review the studies that have tried to estimate the value of forest ecosystem services and discuss the shortcomings of existing studies, and suggest that future research should focus on the neglected ecosystem services, "disservices", assessing the role of dynamic factors and environmental catastrophes on the provision of ecosystem services.About:

Balancing Prevention and Suppression of Forest Fires with Fuel Management as a Stock
TL;DR: This work incorporates the stochasticity of the time of a forest fire into a model and corresponding optimal control problem to determine the optimal combination of the prevention management spending rate over time and one-time suppression spending which would maximize the expected value of a Forest.
High resolution data reveal a surge of biomass loss from temperate and Atlantic pine forests, seizing the 2022 fire season distinctiveness in France
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors focus on the exceptional 2022 summer fire season in France and use very high-resolution (10 m) satellite data to calculate the burned area, tree height at the national level, and the subsequent ecological impact based on biomass loss during fires.

On the investigation of an economic value for forest ecosystem services in the past 30 years: Lessons learnt and future insights from a North–South perspective
TL;DR: In this article , a meta-regression of 478 observations from 57 studies in the time span 1992-2021 retrieved from the online Ecosystem Service Valuation Database (ESVD) was used to determine the estimated value of forest ecosystem services.

The effects of forest types and age groups on forest provisioning and supporting service value in Sanhu Nature Reserve, Northeast China
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined and analyzed the provisioning and supporting services provided by the forest ecosystem in Jilin Songhuajiang Sanhu National Nature Reserve in Northeast China, and revealed that the near mature and over-mature Fraxinus mandshurica forest has relatively high timber supply and species resources conservation values per unit area, respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have estimated the current economic value of 17 ecosystem services for 16 biomes, based on published studies and a few original calculations, for the entire biosphere, the value (most of which is outside the market) is estimated to be in the range of US$16-54 trillion (10^(12)) per year, with an average of US $33 trillion per year.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that old-growth forests can continue to accumulate carbon, contrary to the long-standing view that they are carbon neutral, and suggest that 15 per cent of the global forest area, which is currently not considered when offsetting increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, provides at least 10 per cent the global net ecosystem productivity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the second largest anthropogenic source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, after fossil fuel combustion, is revised downwards, but tropical peatlands emerge as a notable carbon dioxide source.

Soil Erosion: A Food and Environmental Threat
TL;DR: Soil erosion is one of the most serious environmental and public health problems facing human society as mentioned in this paper, and each year about 10 million-ha of cropland is lost due to soil erosion, thus reducing the croplands available for food production.
