just curious about that suspiciously round 75 % figure. Is that true=
for all vegetation types? Here in N.S. the soil is incredibly thin. What i=
s the source of the 75 % figure? With thanks=2C=0A=

75% of the carbon stored on land is in the soil Dave. The richest deepest s=
oils are under an old growth forest. A healthy forest canopy continues to f=
eed that soil and protects it from erosion and oxidation. So .. the argumen=
ts against Industrial forestry are clear cut... =0A=
