seasoned tree planter here. It’s mostly bullshit. most lots that are dedicated to ecological “reforestation “ are usually clear cut 20 years down the line. and yes generally no more than 5 species of trees are planted. Plot density is chosen based of statistical tree survival rate per land piece. What’s interesting about the hole topic is- how small of a felid habit rehabilitation and reforestation actually is, and how much of the knowledge is currently applied in the felid today. It’s tiny. there’s one small planting company I know of, whom imply practices like planting pieces immediately after logging. roots, mycelium, and soil bacteria is still thriving. Opposed to say planting the same piece 5-10-20 years after. logging, and mining could actually be fairly “sustainable” if the right management practices are put in place.
