“As trees developed these roots, they played a crucial role in extracting carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, sequestering it and triggering a significant transformation in the planet’s climate, ultimately shaping the atmosphere we experience today.”

I thought that grasslands produced more Oxygen - which means they take more CO2 from the atmosphere. But they couldn’t help themselves.

The Amazon rain forest has grown up covering untold square miles of former human habitation. The Amazon Rain Forest is only thousands of years old.
