A forest has a more complex structure than a plantation, being made up of various species of plants (of non-commercial purposes) and fauna, between which they have complex interactions that ensure that important ecological functions such as pollination, seed dispersal and feeding take place, whereas a plantation contains a single crop which is harvested to be marketed.
A forest also has at least one strata in a given plot of land and it would contain various trees, shrubs, ferns, fungi, insects, small mammals, etc while a plantation would be void of these, with the exception of intentional additions that help protect or pollinate the crops, such as bats.
