planting of trees is called afforestation

Answer 2

Answer:

Afforestation is the process of planting trees, or sowing seeds, in a barren land devoid of any trees to create a forest. The term should not be confused with reforestation, which is the process of specifically planting native trees into a forest that has decreasing numbers of trees.

Afforestation is the replanting of trees to reclaim land that was once forests and has been used as agricultural land etc. It is used to slow down soil erosion, desertification, etc. ... One of the challenges to afforestation in a desert area is to channel enough water to the afforested areas to allow the trees to grow.
