Good point! I wonder if a 1000 year old tree would gather more or less carbon over it's lifetime than 20 separate 50 year old trees?

- zbrozek 4y agoI recall reading somewhere that trees follow a sigmoid growth pattern, reaching a maturity where they no longer create a whole lot more biomass. I think the 20 separate trees would do better.
- quixoticelixer- 4y agoDepends on the trees but if we are talking about redwoods its certainly more for the 1000 year old tree.
