Understanding Greening
Reforestation is planting activities on vacant land outside forest areas, especially on land owned by people with hard plants, for example types of forest trees, fruit trees, plantation plants, patio reinforcement plants, green manure plants, and animal feed grass.
The purpose of planting so that the land can be restored, maintained, and improved fertility again. The efforts included in the series of greening activities that have been mentioned are in the form of building buildings to prevent soil erosion, for example the construction of swales and dams conducted in areas outside the forest area.
So, greening is planting activities on vacant land outside the forest area and making buildings to prevent soil erosion with the aim that the land can be restored, maintained, and enhanced its fertility.
Purpose of Reforestation
a.) to develop economic business, namely development directed at the pattern of industrial forests or industrial plantations which are expected to supply raw materials for timber industries that are built near the location of the relevant forest development.
b.) To improve the hydro-orological conditions of an area, namely planting trees aims to prevent flooding, erosion, landslides, and to conserve water resources.
c.) to improve and maintain soil fertility, namely in the context of returning nutrients to good growing sites from forest litter products, as well as evergreen canopy trees accompanied by litter products that make forest land less easily damaged due to the strength of the hydrological process in the forest.
d.) To maintain the sustainability of a type of tree that is planning well in the context of preserving a type of tree that is included in lanka or is endangered. That is because the procurement of plant material for the development of rare species in general is experiencing difficulties.
Reforestation Function
Timber Building Producers
Forests of various species of trees produce wood with various qualities and sizes that can be used for building materials.
Carbon Reserves
One important function of forests is as a carbon stock in the carbon because carbon is stored in the form of vegetation biomass.
Habitat for Fauna
Conversion of forests to other forms of land use will reduce sensitive flora and fauna populations.
Land
Forests occupy space in the earth consisting of components of soil, hydrology, air or atmosphere, climate called land.
Benefits of Reforestation and Reforestation
The reforestation has a role and also an important function in environmental sustainability, the benefits of reforestation can be grouped in several sections, are as follows:
Hydrological benefits
Trees planted in reforestation will have the ability to be able to absorb and also store water. Thus the number of trees planted will also increase the amount of water stored in the soil both for use by living creatures (including humans), water reserves in the dry season, or prevent flooding.
Benefits orologically
is the ability of tree roots to prevent erosion or soil erosion either by water or wind.
Ecological benefits
Ecologically (environmental balance) is the greening of trees will be one of the best biotic components that are inseparable in an environment. Biotic components with abiotics are what will work together to create a balanced and harmonious environment.
