Is there a risk that all the “planting trees” initiatives could have an adverse effect on our environment?

While planting (trillions of) trees could help us absorb more CO2, are there real risks to this human intervention in nature’s biodiversity? Won’t our “trees of choice” be wildly different from what would grow naturally? Can we even measure/foresee the longterm impact of planting trillions of trees ourselves?

There are certain species you are only allowed to plant in certain places to not change the ecosystems. We can totally measure the longterm impact and there is no biological or ecological risk. The only reason why we didn’t use this earlier is the money, time, and space involved.
