Off the top, and relatively expertise-free (by truckloads) is there in yours at least a hint of
an argument to log mature forests more. And then to reforest the logged parts, of course.
"...Mature forest is a carbon storage area, but does not fix a net amount of carbon and is basically carbon neutral... what it fixes
is roughly equivalent to that released by decomposition of leaves, slash, etc. A young forest fixes carbon at a much higher rate...."
