Tropical reforestation can mitigate global warming until all available land has been reforested with mature forests.
In the light, sandy soil, agriculture did not last long and fields were often actively reforested or reclaimed by the forest itself.
However, wood is also a renewable resource, with about 90 percent of pulp coming from plantations or reforested areas.
Currently, there are attempts to reforest the area with a similar species which grows to maturity faster.
Because it was abandoned so early, the area has been reforested for most of the historic period.
The land was never reforested correctly, due to ownership disputes; and the tree is very slow to reforest itself.
The former camp, forgotten or repressed, was blown up and the area reforested again.
Trees used in some reforesting efforts (e.g., eucalyptus globulus) tend to extract large amounts of moisture from the soil, preventing the growth of other plants.
