    We did this in Canada back in the 1980s, it was used for reclamation of previously logged areas. In the middle of the cables we had a steel ball maybe 3 meter wide and filled it with water. This was an effort to keep the cables from climbing up and over the remaining standing trees. Once all the trees were down, new once were planted. You go there today and it’s a whole new forest.

      many historically forested areas were replaced with farmland then that farmland was abandoned and invasive species can pop up and pose more of a fire and ecological hazard than well planned agroforestry operation or intact native forest. this actually seems likely a very effective form of chop and drop and looks like it would be fantastic for removing invasive blackberries and pine monocultures in favor of mixed stands of timber nut and fruit trees.

Once you get past them and onto flat land that crops can be grown on there are no native trees growing. And the only non-native and native trees growing beyond the gullies and rivers are those people plant and keep watered.

    If you have big properties, you should have a 15 metre wide mix native tree buffer around that whole property. As Australia experience a lot of droughts, if you don't when the grass dies off nothing to hold your top soil it will blow away. As most old school paddocks, did not have topsoil anyway due to that reason etc. The trees, will act as a windbreak/buffer.

    Honestly wish that they'd at least plant more trees after deforesting an area instead of just deforesting a massive area and not planting any trees to compensate for it. Trees are a vital and important aspect of our lives, they take the CO2 we exhale and create through man made processes and converts it into breathable oxygen through photosynthesis, they're a very important and vital thing to our daily lives. Without trees we humans would actually cease to exist, they're extremely important and vital to the cycle of life. It's honestly not all that hard to replant trees anyways, hell you can go into a forest, take some saplings that would otherwise end up dying, and replant them in an area where they can get sunlight without spending any money on buying the trees lol.

We cleared about 30,000 hectares over 3 years doing about 10,000 hectares a year. After it was knocked over the D8's would push it up into long windrows and it would be burnt.

    The anchor chain knows where it is at all times by subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is, whichever is greater. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the anchor chain is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it may be corrected by the GEA.
