Afforestation
Explanation:
- The process of adding trees and tree seedlings to an area that has never been vegetated is known as afforestation.
- Afforestation can be accomplished naturally or intentionally by planting and seeding trees. Similarly, afforestation can be thought of as reforestation.
- Reforestation is the process of converting a non-wooded region into a forested area by planting and sowing trees. The difference is that reforestation is the process of restoring a deforested land.
- There are numerous reasons for restoring an area through afforestation and reforestation, but they differ depending on the location.
- It's usually done for environmental or industrial-commercial reasons. Conservation afforestation and reforestation are carried out in the ecosystem's best interests.
- Its goal is to repair an area that has been degraded owing to previous exploitation of the land, or to prevent soil erosion and produce a more fertile and stable soil base in an area.
- The question is which tree species sequesters the most carbon, and whether this has a positive or negative impact, if any. Old growth vs. young-growth forests are two tree types that are frequently addressed.
- Although old growth forests are said to have large carbon storage capacity, these trees only capture carbon at a very slow rate or are unable to do so at all. This process is ‘solved' through reforestation, which involves chopping down old growth and planting young-growing trees.
- Unfortunately, when an old growth forest is taken down, much of the carbon that has been stored is released into the atmosphere, preventing a net positive effect. Afforestation is being considered as a possible solution to the reforestation problem.
