Portgual is an example of why this is a bad idea. The timber industry introduced and mass planted eucalyptus trees in that country many years ago, and those invasive, rapidly growing, highly flammable trees have become a huge problem. Huge forest fires are common and deadly to humans (60 killed in one fire in 2017). Had these been native and diverse trees, the fires would not spread as far and as rapidly as they do now.
