english: FAO says it does not include oil palm plantations or fruit tree monocultures under its definition of forests, but it does include pulp and paper plantations as well as replanting efforts that usually depend on a single species. And most analyses of satellite data sets don’t distinguish between forest plantations and diverse forests, meaning that research dependent on satellites usually counts mature oil palm, rubber, acacia or other plantations as forest simply because from the a bird’s eye view they look like forest.
non_english: La maggior parte delle analisi basate su dati satellitari non distinguono tra piantagioni e foreste variegate, perciò la ricerca solitamente considera come foreste anche palme da olio, alberi della gomma, acace ed altre pianatagioni, semplicemente perché dall'alto hanno lo stesso aspetto di una foresta.
