Crops also sequester CO2. Breeding and/or engineering for traits like deeper roots can increase the rate of uptake and also improve yield. There is a lot of potential computational work in this area (automating phenotype data collection with robotics, growth modeling, data engineering and web development for science gateways) and more research is needed. The funding is there for this in the U.S., e.g. from the DOE.
