Trees prevent soil erosion, keep water clean, provide the basis for many beneficial insects and so forth and so on. They have a giant value in our financial system.

Ok, now put a monetary value to that

I‘d have to get my tables from work. It highly depends on the species, soil, size, location, age, natural area of the species and so forth. A decently sized oak at around 100-150 years old usually gets weighed in at around 2000€. Variation however is a given.

And who pays the 2000€? Is it an annual payment?

[–] Darukhnarn@feddit.de 1 points 5 months ago

It’s an investment? Just like an office building or a company car?

A live tree has no immediate quarterly value in our financial system.
