pine plantations
Cultivated evergreen forests
Pine plantations are areas where pine trees are grown commercially in managed rows, typically for timber, pulp, or paper production.
Unlike natural forests, they're monocultures—single-species stands planted, thinned, and harvested on rotation cycles.
The term often carries environmental connotations, since plantations replace diverse ecosystems with uniform tree farms: The old-growth forest was cleared for pine plantations.
