Britain is an overpopulated island. The first massive cut-down of the forests came with agriculture and settlements (houses need wood too). Later on they cut down a lot of the remaining forest to build ships and start the industrial revolution.

I actually for once know the answer. It used to have loads of forest, but cut it all down as cities began to expand. They needed wood for heating and so cut down all of it. Eventually they began to run out which lead to them using coal instead since they had lots of it.

Didn't some queen restricted the area of forests that could be chopped down short before the industrial revolution? IIRC, that made Britain import the woods they used for runnng the machines from Sweden and Russia, elevating the price and making people look for alternatives.
>>
>>52027095
Yeh but it has to do with the peculiar circumstances of geography. The Pyrenees and Alps created a barrier that prevented flora from retreating south into the warmer Mediterranean. This wasn't an issue in NA and Asia, but most lowland species of plants in Europe were wiped out. Europe is missing entire genres of plants.

Anyway, as I said, the US has 90 species of oaks with 50 of them east of the Mississippi. China has about 100 species and Mexico has a whopping 120 oaks many of them endemic to that country.

The area opposite the Channel is very densely populated.. In part there were no trees because it was swamp and marshland, but the non-swampy bits were forested.. We just cut the lot down to make room for agriculture, houses and to use the wood in construction. The swamp-bits were pumped dry to make place for the same reasons.. There's just a few bits of 'forest' left, and those are very much protected now.

Because they're empty deserts naturally bare of trees, which is my point. American states are mostly plentiful of trees and we appreciate and conserve them, or they were naturally empty of trees in the first place.

Meanwhile, the European (not including Finland good guys that they are) despises trees and cuts them down and has no concern or appreciation for nature outside of small concentrated pockets of it that they visit when they're craving a bit of a trip to to the 'historical concept' of nature

The Romans liked Britain for its resources.

>Mining was one of the most prosperous activities in Roman Britain. Britain was rich in resources such as copper, gold, iron, lead, salt, silver, and tin, materials in high demand in the Roman Empire. The abundance of mineral resources in the British Isles was probably one of the reasons for the Roman conquest of Britain.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but New York developed too fast and they realized they cut down so many trees people would not have any nature. Having that large area of trees allows to them to keep some semblance of nature for something too late to repair.

In slower developing cities you'll see many trees interspersed within the city itself, the capital is especially good at this

I think it's because when the Romans built roads in England, people obviously built cities and towns along those roads, over the course of over 1000 years of course those roads are going to be cramped by now. Those Roman roads obviously influenced where our motorways go because it's just common sense to connect all the major cities, if you don't travel down the roads that have been built on for thousands of years you'll see England isn't so densely built.

I should add - both these pics were taken in Belgium. I've never seen a Norway Maple here look as nice or well-formed as they do in Europe. Usually they're covered with black tar mildew. I guess they don't handle the ecosystem of the US that well (being that they didn't evolve in it and all that).

For example, NM often lives 200 years in Europe but typically averages 60 here.

Some of our American birches include Gray Birch, River Birch, Sweet Birch, Yellow Birch, and Paperbark Birch. River Birch is unique among the genus in that it is founder in warmer climates and its seeds ripen in spring instead of the fall.

My point was that my town was heavily involved in the industrial revolution and is less than a few miles from big cities and is very densely populated and there's still empty space and trees and shit despite that. So if towns like mine that removed all the trees and built factories every where still have trees, then we certainly have forests and woodland in other places.

I don't know why that guy mentioned it, since Holland (the western part of the Netherlands) has no forests anymore. It used to have, but it all used up during the Middle Ages.
Since 1900s we have been planting a lot of trees again in the rest of the country though. We went from 3% forestation in 1900 to about 11% now.
