The article is almost about how the rainforests - long considered natural wonders of the world - are actually pretty heavily "engineered". There is no doubt in my mind that, if we actually tried, we could make "batter" forests than "nature". More diversity, more vibrancy, more overall life. A more local excellent example is the evidence that native north americans would do periodic burns, with many varied benefits for the different ecosystems that underwent such engineering.
