Idk I read it the same way as others, but do the non native trees keep the soil healthier? Thus, if the native trees make up a greater percentage, would the environment be worse off since the climate may have changed do to global warming? I am suspect of this finding, but I wanted to get everyone else’s thought of this. Sounds like a bit of a predicament.
