    I get where you’re coming from, but I don’t entirely agree. We don’t need to measure everything by a success rate or a KPI. Even trees that don’t thrive can leave behind root systems that retain better soil and whole ecosystems that can make it better for the next tree there.

      Yeah, even if a tree just dies after a while, there will still some biomass (and therefore carbon) get sequestered into the ground, therefore permanently removed from the atmosphere, which is more effective than our own carbon sequestering efforts by… infinity percent, iirc.

        Nothing that’s, say, less than 100 m below ground is permanently removed from the atmosphere, especially not roots.
