Based on our current understanding of fungally dominated soils, restoring temperate forests will do far more per acre for atmospheric carbon levels than restoring the same acreage of tropical rainforest.
Which we also need to do soon because the longer you wait, the wider the band around the Tropics where fungally dominated ecosystems cannot thrive.
Not that we shouldn't have people working to slow tropical deforestation, but we can't and shouldn't put all our eggs in that basket.
