Grasslands Are More Reliable Carbon Sinks Than Forests1. Grasslands and rangelands are more resilient carbon sinks than forests in 21st
century California because they are impacted less by droughts and wildfires. 2. Grasslands that promote reliable rates of carbon sequestration may help meet the
state’s emission-reduction goals.3. Even greater climate change benefits through sustainable organic farming, and if
carbon farming practices and on-farm renewable energy practices are implemented.
