Dear Brian!
I am growing a forest like a grass since years ( Moringa oleifera) I have to
confess in very high density ( 1 million trees per ha) and cut this forest
every 35 days!! Down to 20 cm high and let it re grow.With ten cuttings a
year I manage in very good soils and with good fertilizer and good quantity
of sun shine hours a biomass production of around 98 to 105 tons of dry
matter per ha and year. No grass comes even close to it.
So forests win.
Best regards Nikolaus
