However, wood is also a renewable resource, with about 90 percent of pulp coming from plantations or reforested areas.
Since those species are shade-intolerant, it suggests that the sites have not reforested since the end of glaciation.
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.
Because it was abandoned so early, the area has been reforested for most of the historic period.
Since then, they have reforested 12.5 of the 14.5 hectares of the farm.
In the light, sandy soil, agriculture did not last long and fields were often actively reforested or reclaimed by the forest itself.
To protect the fields was therefore decided to reforest the drift-sand.
Tropical reforestation can mitigate global warming until all available land has been reforested with mature forests.
