Clearing Wooded Land with Anchor Chain and Bulldozer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 тра 2024
- There are a number of advantages to using mechanical land clearing methods. First, it is a very efficient way to remove large areas of vegetation quickly. Second, it is relatively safe for the operators of the machinery. Third, it is a relatively environmentally friendly method, as it does not involve the use of chemicals or fire.

What if they were both Killdozers with the chain, driving through town destroying all the corrupt government stuff....
then you could make a lot of money selling popcorn and cold drinks while folks watched
@@makeitpay8241 yep i like my beer in a can on ice and my philly cheesesteak fresh off the grill
But what about the non-corrupt government stuff, said no one
"Can clear a forested land in a mater of time..." Really? A single man with an axe can also clear a Forested land in *'in matter of time'!*
😂🤣
A BIGGER matter of time
Really, who writes this crap?
Yes I noticed that, should have said “in a short matter of time” but I guess robots don’t know that and haven’t been to grammar school.😀
@@TheGrimReaper1 Linguistically laziness, Like say, "I could care less", when meant to say, "I could NOT car less."
Think this guy narrated all the videos I watched in grade school during the 1970's...
How is it this can be both satisfying and depressing at the same time.😕
How is it depressing? They're replacing one kind of plant with another kind of plant. We don't need trees for anything. All the oxygen we need comes from algae in the ocean.
Because God created humans with sympathy for our surroundings. There is no reason evolution would ever produce that effect because if destroying our environment is beneficial then it spreads our genes more and we should enjoy it.
I had the same thought 😢
I enjoyed seeing the cedars get taken out, invasive species here in my area.
They need to be burned though, it takes decades for them to decay.
@@morganfreeman1906 seek mental help please. this is unhinged and not how ecology works.
also god doesn't real
“ Forests are often located in areas that are well suited to farming “. That’s some statement !
Destroying ecosystems for monocultures real smart but there $ to be made. How self serving and demonic is that.
Is the implication we should stop eating so that farmland can be re-forested? I don't get it.
@@chrisc7265 No! That's a rather bizarre conclusion. We make better use of the farmland we have.Employ better farming practices. Use technology like hydroponics. We need forests and oceans to transform carbon dioxide to oxygen. We need forests for bio diversity, water regulation and climate regulation. They are a precious and diminishing commodity.
We could say that, "Farms are often located in areas that are well suited to forests."
And I farm.
many historically forested areas were replaced with farmland then that farmland was abandoned and invasive species can pop up and pose more of a fire and ecological hazard than well planned agroforestry operation or intact native forest. this actually seems likely a very effective form of chop and drop and looks like it would be fantastic for removing invasive blackberries and pine monocultures in favor of mixed stands of timber nut and fruit trees.
@@itwasntme8770 hydroponics is basicly the same as this video aquaponics anthroponics and compost ponics are better. agroforestry and regenerative grazing make a great pair especially if the goal is to directly feed the crop to the livestock. biodiversity easily works its way in and around the edges and water catchment areas timber areas and such.
We did this in Canada back in the 1980s, it was used for reclamation of previously logged areas. In the middle of the cables we had a steel ball maybe 3 meter wide and filled it with water. This was an effort to keep the cables from climbing up and over the remaining standing trees. Once all the trees were down, new once were planted. You go there today and it’s a whole new forest.
Yet the narrator speaks like this is a bad thing. I almost laughed at the ominous music and did when he suggested fire was a bad thing. Forest fires are a natural way that the floor is cleared, regular use of fires prevents the catastrophic losses we're seeing in the news now. People are dumb to listen to this shit like its bad.
@sixoh_diesel5662 Idk if you watched the entire video but he literally said "most of this is done to produce land for, soy, palm, and cattle". Those are arguably bad....fire or not.
@@codejunki567 🤣 Propagnada much?
@EnFuego79 Destroying forest for palm and soy.....is fucking bad. Theres no propaganda there. Propaganda isn't even in the right context here because my government benefits from this destruction....try to use your head, if you have one.
@@sixoh_diesel5662 A learned man. So few people know that the big forest fires in CA, NV etc. are because we have become to good at fighting fires.
"no koalas were hurt in this clearing operation" Yes, of course we believe you NOT.
There aren't many koalas in usa
@@vladtepes97 LOL. The clearing takes place in Queensland which is in Australia.
There is also a lot more than just koalas living there
I would like to know if the chain technique with the right anchor chain could be used to efficiently quickly de-mine large flat terrain, such as a farm field.
This wont work on Missouri hardwoods.. No way wade...
@@davehughesfarm7983 Oh, I was wondering about the land mines in the farm fields. Like using the chain to explode them, so they don’t explode when you went to plowing. Thought it might work but maybe makes it worse. IDK.
@@GMT_400 sounds like it would be a good idea. Not sure if it would be enough weight to set off anti-tank mines though
@@Bikinirecon it doesn't take as much weight as you would think to set off most anti-tank mines. A heavy enough human stepping just right can set them off.
@Axeman1224 pretty sure anti tank mines take more weight then a single person. I have heard of them taking 500-1000lbs. Anti personnel mines can be set off pretty easily. I think they have a pretty light trigger.
I'm no tree hugger, but that is horrifying. I had no idea a dozer was strong enough to do that.
as a tree hugger this is amazing for putting replacing monocultures, doing chop and drop, and planting regenerative agroforestry and silvopasture farms.
i spent a ton of time removing blackberries and clearing brush on an abandoned road after the trees grew up and properly shaded it. let me tell you this is outright amazing
It’s just a pity that trees can’t be planted at this speed .
They can probably faster. Tree bomber look it up
So true but no profit in that.
Pretty sure they can.
Sure it can be done, just take time to grow.
In some of these locations the trees are actually detrimental to the ecosystem by venting water into the atmosphere, they shouldn't be there and wouldn't have been in the age of normal wildfire cycles. If that makes you feel any better.
I have heard of dragging an anchor chain behind two bulldozers in order to clear trees and brush. This was done in central Texas at the start of World War II. It was a quick way of clearing the land, and preparing it to raise cattle.
They did this in North East Arizona and turned nice wooded land into a desert. It's been 60 years and it devastated the area. It will never come back. THANK YOU ARIZ FORST SERVICE. 😢
Yea that's why it's 120 degrees there!!!!!
Someone paid them. They're the ones to thank.
There all dead now. The arizona forest serv. Paid the ranchers to do it. And are still doing it.
Not to mentiom the wimd picks up a lot frok no trees.
I have to agree with the hippys on this one, that ground is to arid to do this. This has to be mexico or SA... In the US you would have to hydroseed right behind the dozers.
It amazes me that the big dozers have so much power just to pull the chain like that
Weight torque and grip
lol you have to go ride in a big one some day. i grew up learning on a d9 it was a beast. Pull a house down.
D6 is the stronger
@@maakikursi2860 No. It is not.
@@maakikursi2860 nit even close. You have never run one it's ok.
Watched this exact technique in New Mexico the summer of 1958, clearing mesquite and Pinyon pine to restore range land to production. Also aids seeding to trees.
My question is, after using the tractor and disc harrows, wouldn't it make the subsequent operation of removing the rootsand trees more tedious?
they are not worried about that. destruction of the trees is the goal. creation of deserts. like the Sahara, which was all rainforests not that long ago. desserts create shortage and shortage creates wealth.... at least, that's the business model that they are working to.
forests give independence and you are not allowed independence.
You think the roots would be easier to remove if they were still buried in the ground? LOL. There are machines designed to pick up felled trees and cut all the branches off and saw them into logs.
They either harvest it or pile it and burn it.
The anchor chain knows where it is at all times by subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is, whichever is greater. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the anchor chain is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it may be corrected by the GEA.
You are the Rich Little of our age- impersonating artificial (lack of) intelligence🤣
RIP to any wildlife caught in its path
Ah, shut it.
No wildlife ... thats a dead forest. No grass or vegetation that could support life .... single species forests like this one spell death to wildlife.
Exactly my sentiment! 💯❤️🌎🔥
Says a lot abt the human race doesn't it.
You every hear a cat dozer start up and move? Everything has fucking ran off.
I remember hearing about clearing land with an anchor chain way back in the 1960's, this is the first time actually seeing it being done, awesome idea.
you bet awesome idea, shame there clearing arid land thats going to blow away without trees on it but i suppose all the good lands been cleared a long time ago
@@chrisundertow8464
Arid land is not known for having lots of trees on it. I know because I live in an arid area and the native trees only grow around gullies and rivers. Once you get past them and onto flat land that crops can be grown on there are no native trees growing. And the only non-native and native trees growing beyond the gullies and rivers are those people plant and keep watered.
Very damaging!
Not good!
Man's ingenuity to to destroy the Planet never ceases to amaze me.
Funny, it seems to still be here...perhaps the word "Destroy" is a bit sensationalist
And your house or apartment and shopping center has always been on a cleared drain free land without human involvement, grow up.
@@mattt198654321 by every definition, using a device such as this is certainly destructive. And at no point did I ever state or imply “complete” destruction.
@@brendanmouat6942 I never said or implied that. Maybe one day you will realize how totally unnecessary man’s intrusion and exploitation of our earth has become.
I realize that we,being a dominant species, will always develop more and more destructive means of exploiting our planet.
Perhaps when, and if you “grow up” you will realize the extent to which mankind has exploited our
Planet.
I've helped clear land for our family farms but I've got where I just hate to see wooded areas cleared. That said, it appears to be an efficient method of doing it.
Weren’t your farms land wooded at one time and then cleared though?
@@seashackf1pretty much exactly what he said 😂😂
@@seashackf1 yes it is what he said.
@@seashackf1 literally what he said lmfao learn to read
@@jordanwhite7222They’re saying they are ok with THEIR family land being cleared, but now that they have their cleared land don’t like seeing others clear land to get theirs. Lmfao learn to think.
There two reactions to this video: 1) What an outrage! The poor trees. OR 2) Wow, that big D8 is a beast!
Nailed it.
Third reaction: my kids will probs starve cos nothing will grow because the earth is being hotboxed
One use of that in the American west is to help clear cedar to allow sage brush and grass growth that benefit mule deer and pronghorn antelope. The cedar trees that are taking over a lot of the sage brush flats used to be kept down by buffalo and provide very little feed for ungulates like deer.
Why don't you just chop down cedar trees for wood?
@@bradley7454cause cedar trees are a problem before they are mature enough to harvest for lumber
Fire used to do the clearing
@@bradley7454 They also use an enormous amount of water and water sources become very brackish as they leave the salts behind. And since they grow in widely separated clumps, it's very difficult to make it commercially viable. And until it's commercially viable, it won't happen until it becomes a necessity. Human nature.
@@effervescentrelief interesting. Maybe plant them in places where water is stagnant. Maybe just throw the trees into the mulcher. I looked online at Cedar tree. Cedarwood oil is used as an insect repellent. So it is commercially viable unless you need to put in more money than you can get out of it.
I wonder if this would work on mature pines, and oaks here in florida?
Some of these trees even take a cat 326 or a deere 350, 10 to 15 minutes to dig around and push over a single pine.
This method might only be used for those small trees out west???
Def smaller trees. I’m in a 326 clearing in Mississippi and no way in hell it’s chopping down old oaks, white oaks, huge pines, etc. Like you it’s takes 15-20 minutes digging around alone before you can fall them.
That would be handy for some housing estates.
Or Chicago
Good for the southern border!
They actually have used D8’s to demolish terraced houses in the Uk 🇬🇧.
In the 1980’s
Good for the lawn
Washington DC anyone?
The missle knows where it is because it knows where it isn't.
Being a retired US Navy Tomahawk cruise missile technician, love that skit/video!
I like how the anchor chain has railroad ties welded across the links!
You mean rail. Railroad ties un the U.S. are made out of wood and cannot be welded.
It looks like a lot of the trees are broken off at ground level, leaving the root systems in the ground. How do you work ground that’s full of roots? Do they go back and dig all those roots out? Some types of trees will regrow if the roots aren’t removed.
Did you watch the whole video? They use root cutters afterwards...
Supervisor: clear this land. Use the chains.
Operators: Trees are down, sir but land is not clear.
Supervisor: Get me Andrew Camarata.
I was clearing land back in mid 1970's on a cereal farm east of Esperance in Western Australia, we used two D8's pulling a anchor chain from a large ship. We cleared about 30,000 hectares over 3 years doing about 10,000 hectares a year. After it was knocked over the D8's would push it up into long windrows and it would be burnt.
I bet that anchor chain is worth a lot of money.
Awesome job destroying wildlife ! I'm sure you're proud !
@@maudepotvin8660This guy was probably just doing his job, and if you've eaten cereal...you were probably supporting it. It's the big companies you should be mad at
@@maudepotvin8660 What did you have for breakfast this morning?
@@johnnichol9412 NO,we have a huge block of wheat and barley feeding people,people like YOU who complain about about trees being cleared.
Humans doing what they do best
Yup, building society to house and feed the completely brainwashed and thankful apparently...
Destroy?
Back in 1980 I worked in the oilfield and south of Henneryetta Ok they was cleaning land with a chain and those dozers was so big we was watching them as a 15 foot drop off was nothing for them they never even slowed down going over those cliffs it was amazing to watch
Crazy how close the camera man was to the chain. I wouldn’t be within 100 feet of that process unless im in the dozer.
Pretty sure they're using a powerful zoom like when filming Savannah
I would be nervous even in the dozer. If that chain breaks...look out!
I was thinking the same thing. No way that guy was using zoom. Not a chance I'm standing that close to moving anchor chain period
0:13 "...they can clear a large area of thick forested trees in a matter of time..."
You don't say! In a matter of time? That's almost a useful statement.
😂
Need this in those vacant Neghbor hoods in detroit.
Have to make way for those solar panels and wind farms.
Yes because Biden voters love China
It looks like a low wind area. I don't know if they would be putting any wind mills there. And wind mills take up a small footprint. Farmers in Minnesota are renting their hedge row land for windmills. They don't take up any actually farm land space. And the farmer gets a huge land rental fee. So he's happy.
I’ve logged an 8 acre circle, mulched it down, all for a test windmill to see if they could put up a real windmill plantation. A 20 million dollar project that was to break even in twenty years if everything went correctly. Obama.
Even if that’s what this clearing was being done for (which it most likely isn’t…most of this clearing is probably done for grazing in the under-developed parts of the world) clearing land for solar and wind is still WAY less destructive than clearing land for a strip mine. Your “argument” shows a bit of simple-mindedness.
Using the chain with dozers is a good idea I’ve never seen it done like that before.think of all the people who will benefit from the cleared farmable land . It’s not like they’re knocking down the trees for a shopping mall.
As long as they don't grow water intensive crops like almonds, sugarcane, tomatoes etc.
If people weren't so dependent on the government and huge companies and grew their own food this wouldn't be happening. People are parasites. We need a Thanos finger snap.
Today, farmland. 20 years from today, suburbia and shopping malls 😂😂
@@CumminsTurbo4 does seem to be how it goes in California and other places in USA that’s for sure
@@andrewpinheiro7202 same way in Texas and the midwest. Sad. Humans have an obsession with converting green into pavement and concrete. It's like it's in our blood from when the pioneers did it....!
And here we have D9's in their natural habitat
I have seen that done with illegal housing, 2 military tanks with a 5" cable between them, Shocking and Satisfying at the same time. About 10 000 houses gone in 2 hours and then the Army brings in a vehicle that remove land mines by destroying half a meter of the top soil and leaves it like a freshly plowed field. In 1 day it is very hard to tell that humans once lived there. The next step I did not witness, but they bring in other tanks that plow it up again, but this time it removes anything bigger then a golf ball, just for incase there are anti- personnel mines that size in there.
I would love to see how they load and haul the chain.
Ya for real
probbably the dozer pushes it up a ramp, I would guess
You have to use a semi truck with a winch kit. Winch on 40’ at a time.
The Tree menace must be fought constantly.
... you mean the life forms that give us the O2 to breathe and of course there's the CO2 they need to survive must cut that back as well ... seems like a plan in there somewhere.
A couple of questions: Whats the purpose of a small wheel running ontop of the tracks? Are those types of trees easy to take down? And finally - it looks like mostly their just bent over flat. Won't they spring back up?
The small wheel acts like an odometer in a car.
@@bradsmith5838 I thought that, but surely the dozer knows that anyway through the transmission? Even traction losses are still accounted for through the standard onboard systems.
@@Dr.IanPlect that model only has an hour meter, traction losses are negligible in the calculations for 100s of acres being cleared.
@@bradsmith5838 'only an hour meter' answers it, thanks
I think it's to mark the ground so that the operator can orient himself on the next pass in a way that doesn't destroy the work already done
I'm sure the Amazonian rain forest has seen it's share of these devices.
That system was used in American west to clear brush and improve habitat for deer, elk and other critters.
Replacing fire and first nations forestry in controlling the junipers.
and destruction of lizards, snakes, birds and other animals
I have seen a couple of large dozers drag a chain down a weed choked irrigation waterway............impressive and effective I must say.
anchor chains work well for clearing mesquite in west Texas too
I’ve seen it done and it’s cool as hell
If they are sprayed first. Or they’ll keep coming back.
glad I wasn't sleeping in the trees that day
What’s the rubber tire riding on top of the track for?
Honestly wish that they'd at least plant more trees after deforesting an area instead of just deforesting a massive area and not planting any trees to compensate for it. Trees are a vital and important aspect of our lives, they take the CO2 we exhale and create through man made processes and converts it into breathable oxygen through photosynthesis, they're a very important and vital thing to our daily lives. Without trees we humans would actually cease to exist, they're extremely important and vital to the cycle of life. It's honestly not all that hard to replant trees anyways, hell you can go into a forest, take some saplings that would otherwise end up dying, and replant them in an area where they can get sunlight without spending any money on buying the trees lol.
They literally do that
Trees grow back. Its why you can't run out of toilet papers
You know what else is important to our lives? Food
And crops don't do that? What do you think those leafy greens are doing?
@@chaddufour7693 And remind me, how long does that procedure take?
The missile knows where it's going because it knows where it isn't.
How do they get the trees up after the uproot them? I mean u still have to move them to farm there
This guy sounds like he narrated the Fitness Gram Pacer Test.
Lol try that in almost every other country that’s not a dead wasteland, the dozers won’t go anywhere
Thank you. Adding all of this equipment to my shopping cart now.
All this practice is actually outlawed. Is there dragging the anchor chain it has railway tracks cut into 500ml length and bolted to each chain link. You will hear them talking about how quick they can clear the lands at this point on the 1-minute mark or timer, look at the chain on the left-hand side. It actually collects up a dingo just like every other native animal who have no where to go when you got two large bulldozers each side dragging a chain and the native animals has got no where to go. And Dingo actually gets twisted in half and if you stopped the film at 1.3 you can actually see the dingo's head on the right-hand side with its mouth open and we don't know if it's dead or alive at this point and that's just 3 seconds after first hitting it. Now you watch the chain go over a couple of trees and the bloke is saying it's satisfying to look but if you look carefully at the 1.17 Mark you will see the dingo is still wrapped and stuck to the chain.
Florida needs this to remove the gated communities that keep popping up.
Each Link on a ship anchor chain, the chain used here, has a weight of 125 to 150 pounds.
Plus the added railroad track
We have several acres and some of it gets overgrown. Instead of hiring someone with a tractor and a brush hog each time, we made a heavy drag to pull behind my AWD Subaru Outback. It's an 6 foot length of telephone pole, with chain link fence wrapped around it. A tow chain is attached at each end, with a trailer hitch ball welded to the center of the "V." The hitch ball goes in the receiver hitch on my Outback and I just take off driving. I can clear 2 acres in an hour if I drive slow.
That can’t leave it very visually appealing afterwards? You could just hire somebody who specializes in clearing like myself and get it done quicker and visually appealing after…
It's the back part of my property that no one sees anyway. I have contacted a few people about clearing it, but people around here want $600 or more just to unload their equipment! Some say it's not profitable to come out for just 3 1/2 acres and don't even quote me a price. It only has to be done once a year and it only takes me about 2 hours of driving around in air conditioning, listening to the radio, so why not just save that money?@@davidlove47
Prosess here in south texas. Chain attached to big I beam, rake and burn brush piles, root plow, run root rake and burn piles. Smooth and disc. Seed for pasture land or use for farm land.
Barely even mentioned the real hero here who's actually taking most of the punishment, that CHAIN.
that chain is amazing.
I’ve seen this done and it’s wild watching it happen and the size of the chain
Me too. As a Child here in mato grosso do sul. Wild shit
what is the use of the tires on the caterpillar 0.38 ? Thank
It's like watching a horror film, just to grow Palm oil.
Palm oil is good stuff. I use it to make fried rice
When he said it was kinda satisfying to watch I cringed and thought only a heartless person could find that satisfying.
Why is that, you like eating dont you ??
If you want to keep your anchor chains clean and shiney try dragging them through some scrub land. Works every time.
Almost 60 procent of the earth is changed in desert because we are chop trees. And trees cool down the earth temperature, if you don`t know.
If you live in a home or an apartment… then chances are you’re living on land that was once cleared to make way for your current residence.
Bold of you to assume I can afford living
Next time you wonder why we now get 40MPH winds in the early spring, remember this video.
All the better to power the windmills with
That's not much of a forest so i doubt it grows much of a crop. That's a long way from cleaned up to farm. This is the bull in a china shop method
I fail to see how this could possibly improve agriculture in the area. That's a great demonstration of how to make a desert, yeah you can grow on it but you're going to be getting your water from somewhere else and it ain't going to be staying there. The place already looked arid as hell the only reason anything was growing there was because the cover created by the trees.
in a matter of time, one man with an axe, can clear a forest in a matter of time.
wow it's great to have a design to uproot plants quickly
Satisfied watching. Sad to see us destroy everything.
But it's ok for the forest to destroy everything?
@@LarsLarsen77 ???
Can it be sustainable ?
at 0:41 What is that wheel barrel lookig wheel on the track? Just bouncing around? My uncle has had plenty of big Dozers and none of them have had this?
For spreading grass seed
Most of this footage is from Queensland Australia
Isn’t there a way of integrating the trees into the livestock farm fields?
So that maybe not all trees have to be removed?
+ animals often also prefer to stay in the shade, right ?
It’s just sad to see it happen.
surely the more eficient manner to transform fertile wild land in desert
but also rasing slums
tought not very efective in rocky areas
saddly they seem less used for fire prevention as in canada
I'd like to know more about that modular patch.
The should cut then down and at least use the wood! Energy is expensive!
I'm sure they will.
Or mulch it into the ground. The dead vegetation provides very nice nutrients to the soil.
Energy is only artificially expensive. Nuclear power was initially sold to the public as too cheap to meter. Of course they soon figured out how to squeeze the public. A similar scam is charging for radio licenses.
So, they, basically turning woodland to desert. Good job.
When you realize that chain is covered in pieces of railroad iron... wow.
The producers of The Walking Dead should have made a scene using that cutting drum. Those zombies wouldn’t stand a chance!
Those trees helped not hurt that pasture
It's more than the trees entire ecosystems are wiped out.
The narrator said it was satisfying to watch. I thought it was actually pretty disgusting how easily we can rip our planet apart.
This is exactly how nurses pull on cords for expensive hospital equipment.
That is an insane amount of torque!
It's NOT satisfying...It's SAD !!!!
No its not sad. Its called life.
The problem that I see with this is when it rains trees help a vast amount of water to go down into the soil.
The treea remove moisture NOT add water Water will enter the soil now they are down especialy where the root system rips up the ground Garrey
No they don’t
Such a simplistic way to clear land, I still like the skid steer with Mulcher head on it better it just eats everything leaving nothing but wood chips behind
40 years to grow a tree, 4 seconds to clear it. Things in this world seem to take a lot more time to create than they do to destroy.
I really need to get a bulldozer soon.
It was as if a billion environmentalists cried out all at once and were suddenly silenced.
Good use for our old rail ends since they can’t be used in the track.
Absurdo muito triste de ver .
Interesting fact that most environmentalists will not share with the public but grassland and prairies sequester much more carbon than forests…period!
Per square mile?
Or are you saying in total on the earth?
I don't see environmentalism as some conspiracy to mislead.
I'm not anti science.
I haven't seen a load of research or scientists saying what we really need to do is cut down all the trees because they're causing us a problem.
Per square mile.
Especially when combined with intensive grazing of herbivores. After grass is grazed it is thrown back into the teenage growth stage and sequesters even more carbon. Basically, the millions of buffalo that once grazed the plains were producing more carbon sequestration than any forest can sequester. Healthy pasture and prairie lands have more photosynthesizing surface area pre square foot, therefore more sequestration ability than almost any forest. And it can recover in weeks as apposed to years if it is grazed/cut, and the cutting actually improves the sequestration activity!
Clean little secret, grasslands and herbivores are the answer if we are honest.
Grassland that is grazed and turned to infertile soil after a few years does not sequester more carbon that trees.. rich, diverse praries maybe yes, grassland, definitely not.
