Criterion 4: Conservation and maintenance of soil and water resources

​This criterion is concerned with two of the fundamental components of a forest ecosystem: soil and water. Forests are important for soil conservation because they contribute directly to soil production and maintenance, and prevent or reduce soil erosion. Forested catchments also provide and protect high-quality water supplies for a range of uses.​

Criterion 4 is available as an accessible PDF [3.2​ MB]
