I vouched for this to bring it back from being auto-dead, but I'm still not sure if it's a ChatGPT experiment or a new real user. It's a not a bad comment exactly, but it seems slightly off. Goldenpreppy8, can you speak for yourself?
Judging by its subsequent comments, this is almost certainly AI-produced.

Re: An Introduction to Forest Carbon
#12Forests play a critical role in the global carbon cycle, thanks for bringing light to this topic! They are critical by absorbing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Carbon is stored in forests in a variety of forms, including in the trees, soil, and other organic matter. Here are some interesting points... -For example did you know forests are the largest terrestrial carbon si…

Re: An Introduction to Forest Carbon
#14Not a bad write-up, but there's no way forests can significantly sequester fossil carbon from oil, gas and coal combustion at any meaningful rate. Mature forest is mostly in steady-state with respect to total carbon storage, as dead trees decay to atmospheric CO2 at the same rate that growing trees absorb atmospheric CO2: https://academic.oup.com/forestry/article/90/1/125/2605858 Limited harvesting of trees for conve…
