Artificial forests are bound to be less resilient than wild ones. The lack of biodiversity is a major concern, since we often take shortcuts by planting cuttings, which are genetic clones, or by using an initial pool that isn't sufficiently diverse. An artificial forest is better than no forest, off course, but wild, ancient forests are more precious, since they are living DNA libraries.
