Actually not really they burn quicker and hotter since the tree planters are meant to put a pine or spruce tree very regularly every 6-8 feet in more or less a grid which gives the resulting trees a very bushy characteristic and crowds out the wet undergrowth that an older forest would have
Not mentioning that the old discarded branches from the original logging are left behind to bake in the sun for 2-3 years before replanting which don’t really decay very fast
For the first 10-20 years after logging an old cut block is like a pile of very dry fuel
- Ensorceled 3y agoI bought 800 acres of land that was clear cut in the early 2000s, I'm letting it reforest naturally. The dead wood was gone in less than 10 years, 20 years is a stretch. To be clear, clear cutting is a horrible practice, as is mono-culture planting.
