>>2523031>Rather, nature seems to be trying to find a way around and through it, as a hard, insurmountable obstacle.Can't you say that about everything? How is concrete or asphalt any different from something like pic related, other than the fact we made the former and feel we have a responsibility for it? The earth doesn't care that it exposed a big piece of bedrock that will take decades or even centuries for things more complex than mosses and lichens to colonize it.
>Would reducing it to smaller chunks and burying actually help decomposition or would it simply remain solid underneath and deter any serious tree root growth?Why are trees so important? Why not let it exist as a dry meadow or alvar or something? Not insulting you, just realize that there are many different environments and ecosystems on this earth and we aren't confined to just endless woods because muh trees like some "naturalists" will tell you.
