Basically monoculture is horrible for everything but industry.

- zwieback 3y agoIncluding the authors of the study, we all want this to be true but from what I can tell by reading the discussion in the article the "aboveground carbon store" of monocultures might actually be hard to beat. Their data appears to be shaky and we should take other factors into account to encourage diversity.
