That's a fabulous result with the old-growth forests being so malleable and able to suck up so much carbon. I wrote about various rules for reforestation here: https://predirections.substack.com/p/rules-for-reforestation.

One of the key points is that we need to protect existing forests first, particularly old-growth forests. Losses of old-growth forests cannot be compensated for easily by reforestation.

Thanks for sharing that New York Times article about the attempt to fix carbon via fungal networks in the soil. Be amazing if it works long-term. Interesting too to see that more farmers are switching to no till methods. Ploughing up the soil has released an enormous amount of carbon.
