Its not really an issue, or only problem for humans. Bugs will kill the trees, consume the dead wood and fertilize the soil. Bio diversity will come back

No, the dead wood will get sold, the land will be cleared (they have special machinery now which destroys even large stumps that makes forest ground look like a crop field), burn or take away the dead wood and leave only the bare land.

Then they'll plant the same monoculture again.

It may be different in (some) reservations, but this is the common approach.

Well that just sounds like bad farming. If you cant at least think 1 generation ahead then the state must intervene
Those practices are sanctioned and enforced by the state (with huge fines)
