Chris,

I understand that the Japanese destroyed their pine forests for
turpentine/fuel for war airplanes during WWII.  Disaster struck with
floods and damage to crops fields and towns. They replanted the
hillsides with Moso (big temperate bamboo) and solved many problems.
I don't have sources and I can't remember much more.
