Aforementioned: aphorisms and questions for 2015
Orderly reduction of human population→more room for restored biomes→increased biological carbon sequestration.
The prairie biome is shown here because it is one of the most drastically despoiled of all. Many things might be done to enhance it as a natural carbon sink, even in those vast parts of it now devoted to one form or another of agriculture. However, as our population begins to decrease we may magnify the value of marginal agricultural areas as biological carbon sinks when they are no longer required for food production.
