Reforestation stands as a crucial antidote to the detrimental impacts of deforestation – it is the process of replenishing depleted forests and woods, either from natural or artificial causes, mainly as a result of deforestation but also following clearcutting. Forest regeneration is the process of replenishing forest cover by planting young trees, either naturally occurring or intentionally, usually soon after the old forest has been cleared.
While planting trees is the main goal of reforestation, restoration involves more than simply planting trees. The goal of ecological restoration is to restore an ecosystem’s structure, biodiversity, and overall functionality using an all-encompassing approach. It focuses on restoring the ecological balance and functionality of a damaged environment rather than just replacing trees. The goal is to restore the whole network of life that formerly existed.
Irish Rainforests
Irish rainforests may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Ireland’s landscape, but they are indeed a fascinating and important aspect of the country’s natural environment. These rainforests, though not as expansive or well-known as those in tropical regions, hold a unique charm and biodiversity of their own.
