Forestation is either growing existing forests (proforestation) or establishing forest growth on areas that either had forest or lacked it naturally. In the first case, the process is called reforestation, or reafforestation while the second is called afforestation. Change in land use and natural disturbance can influence tree cover and complicate the distinction between different forms of forestation.

Massive afforestation has been proposed as a method to mitigate climate change, though its effectiveness in some regions is limited by the albedo effect.
