Although the death of pine trees in Taiwan has been greeted with regret, Taiwan's plains have abundant rainfall and a warm climate, and in the opinion of many forestry workers, if the introduced pine species are lost, they can very quickly be replaced by native broad-leaved trees.
台灣松樹死亡雖然令人惋惜，但平地雨水充足、氣候溫暖，在許多林業人員看來，去了外來的松樹，原生闊葉樹將很快代之而起。
