Microbial communities are integral to the health and sustainability of forest ecosystems, offering transformative potential for advancing silviculture practices. These microscopic organisms play a critical role in nutrient cycling, soil fertility enhancement, disease suppression, and stress mitigation, while also contributing to carbon sequestration. This article explores the intricate interactions between microbes and forest ecosystems, highlighting their applications in sustainable silviculture through innovations such as biofertilizers, biocontrol agents, and symbiotic fungi. By leveraging these microbial contributions, silviculture can evolve into a more sustainable, resilient practice, addressing global challenges such as climate change, deforestation, and biodiversity loss. This review underscores the need for further research and implementation of microbial-based strategies to unlock their full potential in forest management.
