Tree planting is the process of transplanting tree seedlings,
generally for forestry,land reclamation,
or landscaping purposes. It differs from the
transplantation of larger trees in arboriculture,
and from the lower cost but slower and less reliable distribution of tree seeds.
In silviculture the activity is known as reforestation,
or afforestation,
depending on whether the area being planted has or has not recently been
forested. It involves planting seedlings over an area of land where the forest has been harvested or damaged by fire
or disease or insects. Tree planting is carried out in many different parts of
the world, and strategies may differ widely across nations and regions and
among individual reforestation companies. Tree planting is grounded in forest science,
and if performed properly can result in the successful regeneration of a
deforested area. Reforestation is the commercial logging industry's answer to the large-scale
destruction of old growth
forests, but a planted forest rarely replicates the biodiversity and complexity of a natural forest.Because
trees remove carbon dioxide from the air as they grow, tree
planting can be used as a geoengineering technique to remove CO2 from
the atmosphere
