  • I don’t know what subject you’re studying that this question was asked but besides the oxygen/CO/photosynthesis inequality, the saplings are going to support the same kinds of wildlife that an old-growth forest is capable of supporting.

  • i really dont believe it does.It takes a tree to mature anywhere from-yrs.You cant replace just a sapling for a mature tree unless you planted enough of them at the same time.

  • no, because the small saplings don’t produce as much oxygen and neither do they take in as much Carbon dioxide as older trees.
