forest technician sounds interesting
@Summī Imperator, 呪い殿 that explains it
This guy stripped the land to the rock.
And replaced the soil.
You see plants repopulate...
And the maples still took priority
why were they replacing in the first place?
Because pines grow to maturity in a decade or two.
And then you can sell them
Maples take 40+
oh so it was for commercial purposes?
Yes.
For building materials.
Sounds like he wasn't just trying to build a forest
He was trying to build a forest to his specifications
He was trying to change a forest.
From hardwoods to soft woods.
building a forest is easy
controlling a natrual forest without wiping it out and starting from scratch is not
It's not too hard to make a hardwood forest.
But it won't be profitable for a long time.
Okay, but I don't care about that. I was interested in whether you can rebuild a forest with enough money. Your example does not contradict that.
^ yeah
Maybe if you had billions
you obviously can build a forest with money
You could remake a forest.
but its hard to replace a forest completely
But it wouldn't be worth it and nature would do it in the same amount of time.
what purpose is rebuilding if it doesn't profit from the entrepreneur's perspective?
Yeah, it won't ever truly be the same
You could plant whatever trees you want, but ultimately it won't matter compared to what nature will do.
As described by the example above.
You could change everything and still nature will do as it will.
No guarantee nature will do it on its own. If you want to rebuild a forest might as well do it yourself
at this rate, the only trees left will be fruit and commercial ones
It just isn't feasible.
"humans be wiping species mega fastz"
-some black dude
The money needed would be enormous.
doing it yourself is still setting up conditions for nature to do its thing
