  • p018 . "flipping between it's two stable states,¹²C and ¹³C, and it's natural radioactive species,¹⁴C"
    • isotopes are not "states" and don't "flip". ¹²C and ¹³C are stable, ¹⁴C decays to ¹⁴N by emitting a positron, 5700y half life
  • p018 . about half of the biomass of a tree is carbon alone

  • p039 greenhouse gases contributing to climate change ... quantify
  • p040 loggers confused by costly instructions to leave "seed trees"
    • how about an educational description or video, not unexplained handwaving?
    • p044 sage "arêtes": a sharp, narrow mountain ridge or spur
  • p045 "tree roots connected underground"
