This is really interesting to me too. W moved house 2 years ago into a forest! WE knew we wanted to take down a lot of trees to provide more light and sunshine but I really had not anticipated the roots that were left behind. WE got professionals in to cut down 30 trees and grind out the stumps but we wanted to leave the deciduous trees for birds and general prettiness. I then got into veg gardening and can now see that it may not be ideal for water/ shade etc.
I’ll try to upload the google maps image of what we started with
