  • Surely the practice of growing stuff then removing it from the local ecosystem still pulls nutrients out of the soil over time so it is not indefinitely sustainable without either very careful management or via additional nutrients being added by the growers in future?

  • Don't they just chop the trees and leave the stumps in, so there is less surface disturbance? Or do they rip the seniors and roots out too?

  • I've seen stumps left in at Llandegla. Here's the felling (due to fungal disease, not commercial) at the goyt valley, again stumps left in.

    Where forested land is cleared to be repurposed this may well be more of an issue.
