depreciate landuse=forest and introduce a clearly defined
landuse=forestry that only includes tree areas that produce
base material for human use.
Managed forest for product harvesting are commonly identified as
Plantations,
Possibly in your area of the world.
But not in Australia.
I live in Tasmania, and work in forestry.

Ha. Sorry .. one of the 'common' people here .. 'forests' is the term I
come across regularly.
"pine plantations" might be a goer .. but I would not use that term for
hardwood forests amongst the 'common' people.
I would take a 'plantation' to be a uniform row on row planting, quite a
few hardwood forests are not configured this way. Thus they don't fit
with my perception of a 'plantation'.
In Alabama plantations were cotton farms .. but are now houses?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_plantations_in_Alabama
Looks to be similar now in adjacent states.
Plantation is used for more than timber .. and that is a problem in that
people will use it for all the other things ... just like they have used
landuse=forest inappropriately.
If OSM were to have landuse=plantation there would need to be a further
tag
plantation=cotton/tobacco/coffee/sugar_cane/trees/banana///house/bushes/*
Do you have any other words that smean tree planting, growing and then
harvesting?? And don't mean anything else?
The closest I have is 'forestry'.
My Dictionary says plantation means;
1) a farm or estate, especially in a tropical or sub tropical
country, on which cotton, tabacco, coffee, sugar or the like is
cultivated, usually by resident labours.
2) a group of planted trees or plants
[late ME from planting]
which I think would be most appropriate term for landuse tag in
that case.

Those too include things other than trees, and even with trees
they don't exclude trees not intended for production of material
for human use.
