"We've been managing forests for lumber or pulp, or perhaps as habitat for deer or quail," said project leader Peter Curtis, an Ohio State University forest ecologist. "Many economists think that managing them for carbon will be a fact of life in the not-too-distant future."
I wonder why they didn't burn the forest in order to both clean the forest slate and create biochar which acts as a second carbon sink to the growing trees?
