Yes, I'm well aware that Landes naturally should be an extensive sandy marsh.
With how natural forest disturbances are more and more starting to affect the plantation, it proves to be seen what the response will be.
The thing is that it is an incredibly productive forest (only in terms of biomass). So now there's a bunch of capital riding on it which will have a vested interest to keep it productive.

No, it shouldn't. It used to be a forest but was cut down by firewood and sheep grazing.
Stop with the "return to nature" fallacy. With how things are going, even "natural" forests are going to burn down.
