Replanting native forests in deforested environments also requires desalination.
- myshpa 4y ago> Replanting native forests in deforested environments also requires desalination. Probably not everywhere. If biotic pump theory is correct, you could (for example) reforest at the coast, with the forest there established then progress inland, without expensive desalination / water distribution technologies.
- martythemaniak 4y agoYou should read some of terraformation's blog posts, they're quite sensible and talk about why you need desalination. Tldr, while forests do create their own microclimate, maintaining moisture, etc you need desalination for the first decade or two while the forest boots up. Also, desalination is largely a function of energy, as solar falls in price, so does the cost of desalination. https://terraformation.com/blog/solar-powered-desalination-reverse-desertification https://terraformation.com/blog/solar-powered-desalination-r...
