trees pull CO2 out of the air, so planting more trees is carbon-negative. but how is just allowing the trees that are already there to continue existing carbon-negative? it can't be less CO2 that the status quo if it's literally the status quo.
- peteradio 5y agoPerhaps there are methods to maximize forest yield, it would probably be appropriate to bake that into the value I would think. I think forests that burn may leave behind char in the soil layers and on small time scales it would be insignificant but maybe it becomes significant over millennia?
