Life and Productivity
Forests are already incredibly productive. With the stability that native plants establish, a richer ecosystem will take hold. The forest cycling nutrients successfully means that you will never have to fertilize. Thriving fungal networks and microorganisms in the soil increase the bioavailablility of nutrients and minerals for plants.
