Abstract
The ever-increasing human population has posed a significant risk to forest biomass density. Humans are less conscious of the value and relevance of forest biomass. As consequently, they chopped down the woods for a variety of reasons, including agricultural demands, industrial and economic expansion, and so on. This work proposes a non-linear mathematical model to investigate this lack of awareness among humans and its negative impact on forest biomass. The findings of this study demonstrate that forest density decreases as human population and population pressure grow. On the contrary, as human understanding of the necessity and justifiable value of forest biomass grows, the rate of deforestation slows. As forests supply oxygen for all living humans, this will result in good health and well-being (SDG-3) for both humans and forest biomass, as well as a clean environment (SDG-13). MATLAB simulation provides strong support for the numerical findings.
