That's a fun example. Both forests and fields are known for being.highly renewable resources. With a right cutting and seeding policy, a forest can keep giving wood for ventures, and likely indefinitely. A field can keep bringing yields for a very long tome, too, given correct fallowing and rotation of crops.

Mineral resources, such as ore deposits, are very unlike that.

Primary unfarmed biodiverse forests are not easy to recreate.
