> They're doing 40 per square meter!

Where did you see this? I see

> three to five saplings per square meter

and

> 300 trees of 42 species in a 93-square-meter plot

I wouldn't nitpick but it's an order of magnitude.



Thanks! Mistyped, should have been '4'.

Still, there are 4000+ square meters to an acre. That remains two orders of magnitude larger than a mature forest should have.


It's also mentioned in the article that not all trees survive, meaning that the density would actually be slightly less than how it's planted.


So slightly less than 16,000 trees per acre?
