Remarkable re-greening of the planet

Since 2000, deforestation under the guise of the "wood-energy" law has gained ground https://www.globalforestwatch.org/map

no it's two different things, for the forest it comes from there

as mentioned by Exnoihilo, it is intensive agriculture that has made it possible to concentrate cereal production on concentrated areas such as Beauce, and many small fields previously cultivated have been abandoned, returned to fallow, then were reclaimed by the forest . This is very clear when you compare the postcards from the beginning of the XNUMXth century to those from now.

Thanks to fertilizers from natural gas and phytos, plowing that depletes carbon stocks ...

And with the RC yields drop, not to mention the grabbing of agricultural land for concreting and now to supply methanizers and biofuels ...

The import of food is also for something in this variation of the forest surfaces (25% of the food of the Germans comes from abroad).

What is clear is what is stated in the text from which your graphic originates (regarding the second half of the XNUMXth century):

Created in the aftermath of the Second World War, the National Forest Fund contributed to afforest or reforest 2 million hectares of mostly coniferous forest, intensively and artificially managed. Softwoods were chosen for their high productivity and to meet the needs of pulp.

Hello biodiversity, thank you "re-greening".
Ps: We have barely returned to the 1600 level ... Nothing to show off, especially not with this kind of plantation.

I was not posting for reforestation (which started around 1800 and not 1945) but to illustrate that deforestation (like species extinctions) was not a recent phenomenon.

this is why if you remove access to fossils, there is a strong risk that the pressure on biomass will increase again ... the problem is that we have reached a population level that is probably unsustainable without fossils.

yields have increased for decades with RC, they've just stagnated in recent years ... (and in France, not the world).

Elsewhere in the world, the areas planted have increased, hence part of the re-greening (of m ....), the yields I am not sure, and if so it is thanks to the massive use of all the crap that will end by having our skin.

it is not the crap that will have our skin, it is their disappearance. These crap as you say is what feeds humanity today, it is simply no longer viable without them.
