So my scheme is to grow a fast growing, but truly excellent hardwood tree native to the eastern US, called Black Locust. I have no problem with that. Pretty flowers.. great honey.. Hate the thorns.. and it's a B*tch to split for firewood.. ;0) However, I don't know of any animals who rely upon it in their food chain. But it takes years to grow those trees, and phytoplankton fertilization can result in almost immediate increases in flora.. So.. if we're serious about reducing CO2 levels, it would seem that the best "bang for the buck" with the added advantage that we're replenishing the oceanic food chain. I would suggest the proper analogy would be planting grass, which has the quality that many forms of animal life depend upon it for grazing. Fast growing, reduces soil erosion, and easy to plant and fertilize. Hawk
