Magical impact on land usage

except if the regent is a wizard, or have really powerful wizard adviser who will use that power of the nature in the name of the regent

I do like it when people mention the magic in the mix of these type of ideas. There are two thoughts on the matter.

Renewable resources like timber could have sections of land magically resewn with rapid growth varieties of lumber so you get lumber faster. If you take it one step further and something like the infinity vines of spelljammer space (or something similar) have genes magically spliced into redwoods, then you can see that the "old growth" elvish woods would be the last thing on the timber industries mind.

The second bent, is on the non renewable resources. In this case mining using magic could be turned into a renewable resouce with spells like Renew Deposite, which the dwarves would be won't to cast in the richest deposites of mithral or dare I mention Tighmaevral, over and over again.

There are any number of magic augmentations using mage or clerical magic that would lead to rich deposites or rapid regeneration of resorces regardless of their nature.

It is hard not to think about the possibilities.
