Dear authors,
I appreciate reading the manuscript and want to give you congratulations on the sound research developed. Prediction of future risks associated with biotic and abiotic factors in forests is a theme of major importance and you have handled this research in a proper mode. I appreciated the comprehensive description of the methodology followed and the results provided. I have just one comment to make and that is to recommend expanding the scope of the manuscript. I think it would be important to discuss how this study can be replicable or inspire further similar research in other regions/countries.
