Forest ecosystems are major ecologic units that exist as a part of the total complex ecology. ... Larger ecosystems with wide diversity are much more stable and somewhat resistant to harmful changes.

Understanding forest ecology is necessary before a forest ecosystem can be defined. They are hard to describe even when using modern tools and concepts.
