How does exactly planting trees helps the environment? Is it possible that planting too many trees without planning it carefully would lead to bad consequences?
In: Biology
Having more trees helps the environment, planting them only helps if they flourish. If you plant a magnolia seedling in the Arizona desert, you just killed a tree = not helping.
Fortunately, the people who organize reforestation projects choose the right sort of trees for the place they are reforesting. There are many, many places in the world that have vastly fewer trees than they would naturally have. So, you don’t need to be that careful to move the tree population in the right direction. If the lot containing your house your would naturally have 30 trees, and you plant 2, you’re not getting close to the “too many trees” level.
