Computational modeling reveals negative correlation of urbanization and deforestation with forest biomass productivity.
This study investigates the impact of anthropogenic activities on forest resource biomass through a computational modeling approach. In this study, we analyze the effects of urbanization, deforestation, and agricultural expansion on biomass density across diverse forest ecosystems. Our model integrates socio-economic factors, such as human population density and population pressure to simulate the degradation of forest resources over time. Results indicate a significant negative correlation between human activities and biomass productivity, particularly in regions subjected to intensive agricultural practices and urban sprawl. The findings highlight critical thresholds beyond which forest ecosystems experience irreversible biomass loss, emphasizing the need for sustainable land management strategies. By forecasting potential future scenarios based on current trends, this research provides a framework for policymakers to mitigate the adverse effects of anthropogenic activities on forest biomass, promoting conservation and restoration efforts. The study underscores the importance of computational approaches in understanding complex ecological interactions and guiding sustainable development initiatives.
