So, monoculture or not these trees are going to sequester carbon. Preserving natural forests is ideal, but these are areas that weren’t forested before this project. Obviously if they’re cleared and / or burned, a lot of that carbon will go back into the atmosphere. Therefore, creating systems people will be happy maintaining and living with for centuries isn’t a superficial concern. For an idea of what that might look like, think of the olive tree agroforestry hillsides of Italy that have existed for centuries. The tropical “homegarden” — similar to the permaculture idea of a “food forest” — shows enormous promise for high annual and lifetime carbon sequestration potential. They can be beautiful, productive systems that have the added benefit of producing food and sustenance.
