Forests offer numerous sustaining, regulatory, and cultural services. Significant destruction or deterioration of forest ecosystems has resulted from extensive environmental changes. The present study seeks to identify fundamental concepts of assessing pollution effects, with an emphasis on forest ecosystems, and to analyse the combined impact of climate change as well as pollution on forest ecosystem services (ES) based on chosen tree physiological functions. Organisms from the animal kingdom are useful prospective biological indicators. Biological indicators of bioaccumulation can be distinguished from biological markers of impacts (toxicological and ecological). Currently, there is a paucity of information regarding the malfunction of biological processes caused by pollution. The link between pollutant consequences for soil fauna and pollutant impacts on functioning must be investigated. It can be challenging to assess the forest ecosystem due to the ambiguous interactions of climate change phenomena. On the basis of secondary sources (websites, Google Scholar, and numerous internet sources), the methodologies are discussed. Concerning ecological systems, research should establish sampling techniques and factors tailored to ecotoxicological objectives. Toxicological indicators related to various organisms have been extensively studied, and their lethal and sublethal pollutant consequences are well-established. However, only a few species have been the focus of research. These studies must be expanded to include additional zoological groups.
Pollution, forest ecosystem, zoology, environment
The concept of ecosystem expands the conceptual structure of biodiversity along with ecosystem operational investigation to comprise the total human–environment structure. Therefore, we must comprehend the way concurrent alterations to climate, along with disturbance regimes, and forest utilisation will impact the zoology and ecology of forest sustainability. Nevertheless, forest ecosystems are considerably more complex and also difficult to model. Moreover, as pollution rises and climate modifications occur, so will the dangers posed by pollution to forest health.
