I can tell you that this is, for better or worse, what a lot "forests" look like in Sweden (and I assume, Finland too). A large part of our forests are industriskog (industrial forest).

Great for the economy (in the short term), not great for biodiversity.

This one was probably planted up to 60 years ago after the previous felling. The biodiversity requirements surely were not any better back then.

Swede here too.

It's extremely depressing driving around in Swedens countryside now. There are little to no forests, it's all just tree plantations.

Still better than most of Europe. Tree plantation has more biodiversity than French or German field growing wheat.

It is so sad, same in Finland, just one huge plantation.
