  Alfredo, the rate of C absortion and productivity changes depending on rotation to be shorter. A mature forest absorb with lower rates comapred to a rapid growth forest that is cutted every 3 years (not in all situations of course). Grasses capture higher rates many times depending on sites and species (in particular C4 grasses have really high rates too). If you cut them every year, or even twice a year, they absorb a lot. If you replace coal or natural gas, you have a net benefit to the carbon cycle, to soil erosion, to bioiversity and subsequent cereal yields if their were cultivated in agricultral arable lands (using rotations).

  A nice video on Allan Savory concepts to use two thirds of marginal lands in the world. His experience and perspectives have been applied succesfully during 40 years and have strong scientific background and evidences. Here the video to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpTHi7O66pI Just emailed him this week to exchange ideas on perennial woody and herbaceous species and potential use for renewable energies, marginal agriculture and grazing management.
