A hurricane is a tropical storm with winds that have reached a constant speed of 74 miles per hour or more. High winds that oust trees and massive rains that flooding are the main ways that hurricane destruct a forest. The storm surge that follow hurricanes can create further flooding and immerse freshwater habitats, accumulating salt and debris inland from the coast. The long-term aftermath of an elevated salt levels in soil can cause deferred mortality of several tree species, forest deterioration and eventually dieback. The biggest clear and actual effect of hurricane is on timber and the economic value it represents. The lifelong effect of hurricanes may agitate some of the other ecosystem services that the forest convey such as water purification and carbon storage. Carbon storage is esential to alleviate the effects of climate change.
