Just wanted to point it out though, because grass doesn't get enough support in general. The mechanism is roots, which can capture carbon more durably than trees.
I mean, yes, wild grasslands are really important ecologically, but the only relationship between our manicured monoculture lawns and grasslands is the word "grass".
I mean, grasslands might not get enough support, but grass gets far too much support.
