pines
No.
money can build a park
not an ecosystem tho
"a park"
kinda can...
money if it has enough worth, can do anything
By the way this wasnt just planting pines over the maples
however things we cant do usually have a worth well over the amount of money we have
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?
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.
Unless the soil is acidic
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.
