pine plantation
Planted evergreen forest
A pine plantation is a forest of pine trees deliberately planted and managed for commercial timber production.
Unlike natural forests with diverse species and ages, plantations grow trees in uniform rows for efficient harvesting: The old farmland was converted to pine plantation in the 1960s.
Common in the southern United States and other regions with suitable climates, pine plantations supply lumber, paper pulp, and other wood products.
