Saemaul Undong Village Mobilization 85%
Mobilizes local forestry associations for massive tree planting drives.
Fuelwood Coal Substitution Rate 90%
Replaces firewood heating with anthracite coal, protecting mountain canopy.
Fast-Growing Fixer vs Timber Ratio 60% Fixers / 40% Timber
Pioneer species (Acacia/Pine) fix soil instantly vs high-value timber stock.

Monsoon rainfall intensity driving runoff stress on hillside slopes.

Simulation Outcome & Historical Validation

At full target parameters (1988), village mobilization at 85% and coal fuel substitution at 90% successfully plant 10.80 Billion trees. Root anchorage reduces soil erosion by 82.4%, raising national forest cover from 35.0% to 63.2%.
