Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Poplar trees, called cottonwood plants, were mainly considered to be useful for timber. One prominent feature of the poplar tree is that the trees were of similar or uniform height and grew in straight lines. It was this model that scientific forestry promoted. The English were too concerned about building ships and railways and needed forests for this exact reason. They were worried when the locals used forest produce, or the traders felled trees recklessly and believed that these activities would destroy forests and prevent them from accessing good timber.
