[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 7796164, member: 51054"] I have read that when you plant trees on grassland, the changes to the soil biome causes Carbon to be emitted from the soil (this is eventually equalised by the Carbon being stored in the wood), but if the trees are eventually burnt or allowed to rot, the whole thing is far worse than rotationally grazed pasture, and this is not even thinking of planting trees on peat! Old woods I think should never be cut down, but we need to be very careful where we plant new woodland, and when we do, what we plant, otherwise it is far worse than what is already there. [/QUOTE]
