Herbaceous plants are better than woody plants for carbon sequestration

Afforestation is widely recognized as an effective way to achieve carbon neutrality. But is afforestation the best strategy for absorbing and fixing carbon dioxide and effectively reducing the greenhouse effect? This paper conducted a comparative study on woody plants and herbaceous plants in terms of carbon sequestration capacity, energy equivalent and growth environment. The result demonstrated that it is better to plant herbaceous plants than woody plants to achieve rapid carbon fixation and recycling for reducing the greenhouse effect and impact on the ecological environment
