After 30 years in a sample of multiple individuals of ten tree species, the mature leaves of all but one species increased in fiber concentrations, with a mean increase of 10%; tagged individuals of one species increased 13% in fiber. After 15 years, in eight tree species the fiber of young leaves increased 15%, and protein decreased 6%

“tagged individuals”

which species didn’t ‘decline’? Did it enhance?

“concentrations” is left hanging without disambiguatizing between concentration and ‘total content’ in that last sentence….

It’s only the synopsis but, still, that is a bit of ‘wiggle room’ — I’d be interested in the concentrations/content of the slightly older ‘adolescent leaves’…

But, without looking at the paper (when I get the cookie page, it matters not what I do with cookies or scripts — no page),

the fiber of young leaves increased 15%, and protein decreased 6%

So is that saying that although protien concentration went down the total protein still went up (bigger leaves)? — Probably more of them to.

Regardless, I feel it insignificant when considering Monstanto, factory farming, and monoculture crops — Agenda 21 implementation to combat CO2 will destroy individual and small scale, distributed agriculture with its’ attendant corruption and destruction of biodiversity. <– This is nothing more than controlling all life and it is happening right now

Now, it is being advocated to replace healthy living biomes with *green desert*, pine forests, for higher ‘sequestration’ of CO2. This sequestration is ‘higher’ because the life is less. A healthy biosphere requires a healthy overturning of CO2.

And *they* hate kudzu also for the same reasons — it produces healthy, rich soils and biodiversity whereas pine kills it.

I *think* The proper way to sequester carbon into the soil, support a diverse biomass, and *grow* more rich soil would be to replicate/teach terra preta:

As that doesn’t fit the agenda, it will surely be outlawed in the home garden or otherwise treated like the weight of dirt and plant is the weight of plant when following sentencing guidelines of other brands of prohibition.

No matter how high the CO2 goes, teh Shara is not going to be Iowa.
