Calling the place were they grow trees for paper a forest is an exercise in grammatical pedantry at least. The flora and fauna in those places is not similar to a real forest at all. I some cases they don't even provide the same amount of carbon capture because of all the energy spent on irrigation that wouldn't be necessary without the groundwork they do to make harvesting the trees easier. Yeah more paper doesn't equal less trees, but it does equal less forests because you can't grow a real forest if you are constantly irrigating and harvesting trees.
