Planting afforestation - Uetsukezourin

Japanese: 植付け造林 - うえつけぞうりん

...A forest that has been created by human intervention, as distinct from a natural forest that is left to its own devices. The purpose of artificial forest creation is to produce timber for use as timber or firewood, but it also includes special purposes such as restoration of degraded or collapsed land, erosion control forests to prevent erosion, windbreak forests to protect the coast, and coastal forests to protect against tides. Forest creation methods can be broadly divided into artificial afforestation (silviculture) and natural regeneration. Artificial afforestation is a method in which humans establish afforestation materials such as seeds, seedlings, and cuttings in forest land to create the next generation of forest, while natural regeneration is a method of cultivating the seeds of mother trees and sprouts from stumps that are naturally present in the area to create the next generation of forest.

From [Afforestation]

...the cultivation of a forest. It is sometimes used in the same sense as silviculture, but is often used to mean artificial afforestation, especially the planting of seedlings. It is better to use silviculture to emphasize that it also includes the care (nursing) of the trees after planting and natural regeneration. Afforestation is when a forest is cultivated in a place where there was no forest before or where a long time has passed since the forest was cut, and reforestation is when a new forest is cultivated immediately after the forest is cut down. The latter is usually called regeneration, but regeneration is sometimes used synonymously with silviculture.

Japanese:

…人間がなんらかの手を加えてつくった森林のことで，まったく自然に放置されて成立した天然林と区別される。人工林造成の目的は用材，薪炭材などの木材生産であるが，荒廃地，崩壊地の復旧，侵食防止のための砂防林，防風のための防風林，海岸の保全，防潮のための海岸林など特別の目的をもつものも含まれる。　森林をつくる方法は大別して人工造林(造林)と天然更新にわけられる。人工造林は人が種子，苗，挿穂などの造林材料を林地に定着させて次代の森林をつくる方法であり，天然更新は天然にそこにある母樹の種子や切株からの萌芽などを利用育成して次代の森林をつくる方法をいう。…

【造林】より

…林を仕立て育てること。育林とほぼ同じ意味で使われることもあるが，人工造林とくに苗木の植栽を意味する場合に用いられることが多く，植栽してからの手入れ(保育)や天然更新も含めていることを強調する意味では育林を使うほうがよい。もともと森林がなかった場所や，森林が切られてからかなりの年月がたった場所に林を仕立てる場合afforestationと，森林を伐採したあとにすぐ次の林を仕立てる場合reforestationとあり，後者は更新とよぶのが普通であるが，更新を造林と同義に用いる場合もある。…
