A productive forest is naturally grown whereas a protective forest is mainly planted by people. In the productive forest tree density is usually high and forest canopy is closed. Protective forests include amenity planting alongside roads, parks and railway lines etc. They are usually linear. Productive forests have great commercial value as they provide timer. In contrast to this protective forests have little commercial value as they don not provide any valuable specie of wood. Productive forest's main function is the extraction of timber while protective forests mainly prevent the soil from eroding or blowing away and also keep the environment pleasant by providing shade and keeping the temperature low.
