How much does it cost to plant one tree?

Costs vary as to the type of trees and the area to be worked. As regards fir trees, the figure of $65 per acre has been circulating. Energy costs are pushing that figure higher. The "missig link" in this activity is the time it will take for the trees to grow up and "reforest" the forest. Seedlings are started and planted by the millions every year, but the old growth forests they replace when grown up support a slightly different group of critters. One classic example might be the marbled murrelet, which only nests in old growth forest, like Pacific Coast redwoods. And how long does it take for a redwood to mature? Maybe five hundred years? Maybe a thousand? Wikipedia has an article, but at this writing it is a stub. It does, however, have links to related material. Why not surf on over and check it out. Oh, need a link? You got it.

How might planting trees stop water erosion in a treeless area where it rains a great deal?

Planting trees might stop water erosion because the roots help hold the soil in place.


Assume that all dead trees in the logged sites dry out at some point lightning strikes the area and the logs burn how would the fire affect the flow of nutrients from the logged area?

This cannot be answered. This does not make any sense.


How might planting trees stop water erosion in treeless area where it rains a lot?

I might help so the water slows down when it hits the trees and the trees would ebsorb the water


How is sustainable timber produced?

Sustainable logging means logging an area in such a way as there is always trees to be cut. In other words, logging in a way that leaves young trees, medium age trees and mature trees behind each time you log, so that you can always log that area in the future. The opposit is called "clear cutting" which means you can't go back in that area to log for over thirty years. Re-planting the area can be part of your sustainable logging plan. I have sustainable logging operations on my hundred acres in Maine and except for the skidder trails throughout the woods, you would not notice the loss of trees each year.

What is planting new trees?

It would be considered to plant a (new) tree if: 1) There were no trees in the area to start with. 2) Planting a replacement tree for one that was destroyed, removed from the landscape or harvested for making any number of products. 3) Planting a new tree could be from seed, a seedling, bare root, ball and burlaped, moved with a tree spade, or even relocating a mature tree to a (new) location. 4) Planting a different species than the yard or area already has. For example many new trees will have to be planted to replace the Ash trees that are being killed by the invasive species of beetle named Emerald Ash Borer. Not only will replacement (new) trees be needed, but (new) different species of trees will be needed. Tree species diversification cannot be stressed enough to help protect from losing a large majority of our landscape trees from invasive bugs, diseases, and even climate change.


How was timber transported during the industrial revolution?

If the trees were logged in a remote wilderness area, the usual method of transportation was to float them on rivers. In more developed regions, timber was transported by train.
