Joachim Rathmann presents the interdisciplinary links between forests and human health. Forests provide numerous ecosystem services for the survival, well-being, and maintenance and enhancement of human health. Forests provide multisensory recreational spaces and can therefore be considered a resource that positively impacts both physical, mental, and social aspects of health. The author presents natural science, social science, and humanities research in an understandable, clear, and concise manner for a diverse readership.

lt;b>Joachim Rathmann teaches and conducts research on human-environment relations as a private lecturer at the Institute of Geography at the University of Augsburg and as an adjunct professor at the School of Science and the Environment at Memorial University in Newfoundland.
