Answer:

The act or process of creating new forests by planting saplings is afforestation.

Explanation:

  • What is afforestation? Afforestation is the process of introducing trees and tree seedlings to an area that has previously not been forested.
  • It is the idea opposite to deforestation. Afforestation can be done through tree planting and seeding, naturally or artificially. Similarly, reforestation can be considered a form of afforestation.
  • The benefits of this practice, which is called agroforestry, are: It provides a supply of timber, fruit, and fodder for cattle apart from crop production.
  • It is well known that afforestation can have many positive impacts on degraded land, including conservation of soil on degraded land by reducing soil erosion, as well as increasing soil organic matter, improving soil structure, sequestering carbon, increasing nutrient cycling, providing wildlife habitat.

Hence, the act or process of creating new forests by planting saplings is afforestation.
