Looking for a Word…?

I’m working on a debate right now, and remember hearing a word which means that there are too many trees being planted, and how that could be dangerous.

If someone knows the word I am thinking of, or can point me towards an article about overplanting trees, I would greatly appreciate it.

Did you Google “overplanting trees?” or “Trees, environmental effects”?

Does your local or state library offer access to online databases such as Infotrak? You could search these terms there as well as Google. Infotrak is an index to magazine and newpaper articles. Many of them are full-text and can be read completely online.

If you don’t know what’s offered, check with your local library when it opens tomorrow. In Kansas all you need is a Kansas Library Card to access the databases from home. Your state or local library may have a similar set up.

Well, trees breathe carbon dioxide which is our exhaled waste. They give out oxygen on their exhale, which we need. So, without them we die.

Without trees it would be like living in a big plastic bag and we would run out of air to breathe.

If there are many trees then why are animals starting to come into towns. Because their habitat is being destroyed.

Over populated. If there were to many trees, which there arent’, then the oxygen percentage in the air could get to much for us to breathe. But, we don’t need to worry about that in this world

I can’t find one but you might start here:

(a reverse dictionary)

Sorry, don’t think I’ve ever heard of a word like that! (Make one up…that’s what Shakespeare and others did! Maybe look up ways to say “too many trees” or something in some other language like Latin or French and compound a new word…)

The only thing I can come up with is ‘crowding’. I don’t have any articles on overplanting I’m afraid, but try a google search like:

intitle:overplanting

Good luck.

The best I can think of for yours would be ‘reforestation’….

And the other one about people moving in a ‘flock’… How about ‘exodus’?
