woodlessness
Lacking any trees
Woodlessness is the state of being without wood or trees.
The term might describe a treeless landscape, a home without firewood, or a construction project lacking timber.
It appears rarely, usually in environmental or resource contexts: The woodlessness of the prairie forced settlers to build sod houses.
