There was an article someone posted on hacker news previously (I couldn't find the link unfortunately, maybe someone can help me out).

It didn't refer to developed nations, but it was saying that there are companies that were already planting lots of trees, but the type of the trees they were planting were negatively impacting the biodiversity.

I don't remember if that meant that the trees weren't native to that region which was leading to problems or if they only picked two types of trees to plant (perhaps because they were the cheapest) which may not be diverse enough.
