Fast-growing plantations

Fast-growing plantations are areas where specific trees are cultivated intentionally for quick harvests. These plantations are designed to produce timber, pulp, or other forest products efficiently by planting species that grow rapidly under managed conditions. They often use shorter rotation periods, meaning trees are harvested sooner than in natural forests. This approach helps meet high demand for wood and paper products while reducing pressure on natural forests. Properly managed, fast-growing plantations can provide sustainable resources, though they require careful planning to maintain environmental balance and biodiversity.
