With credit to the other posters here, who do give correct answers as to how forestry is less destructive to the soil than other crops,.... and assuming a clearcut/monoculture approach to tree farming (because the comp to foodcrop agriculture also ignores regernerative/permaculture techniques) forestry is massively disruptive to the soil, because it obliterates the ecosystem/community which allows forests to produce so much biomass. also, because the harvest cycle is measured in decades rather than years, the soil destruction also happens at a slower rate. Doesn't mean it isn't as destructive per harvest cycle, just that the cycle rate is slower.
