@waiterich While forests are vital for maintaining ecological balance and mitigating climate change, it's important to note that not all lands are suitable for forests. Many open spaces serve as natural habitats provide other ecological benefits See for example: https://t.co/25j6AZsoUv

@NicholasDCarter @LanceWRobinson The wrong point there is "the GHG emissions these grazing animals generate" (see https://t.co/o7ealgrlpq). Otherwise it's true enabling conditions are needed to sequester such C, yes. The same as at planting forests (https://t.co/gu9srk3xfU).
