Barren land fallacy

📌Natural ecosystems are not always forests.Barren-land fallacy is the mistaken assumption that land without trees is ecologically deficient and should be converted into forest.Grasslands are degraded forests and naturally evolve into forests if left undisturbed.

⚠️Ecological Restoration = Restores the ecosystem that would naturally occur there.vs Afforestation=Creates tree cover, including where forest may not naturally occur.

🅾️Treeless landscapes may be fully functional ecosystems such as:

⚜️Grasslands
⚜️Savannas
⚜️Scrublands
⚜️Wetlands
⚜️Deserts
⚜️Alpine meadows
