Also this work equates natural forest canopy with the managed woodland that offset treeplanters create. When we plant offset trees we control the mix of species, the spacing etc which affect the albedo of the resulting woodland. In general terms their work is clearly valid and important but care has to be taken lest we throw the baby out with the bath water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
