Question

1. some climate scientists even believe grasslands may be more efficient and reliable at removing carbon from the atmosphere than forests, because grasslands are more resilient after fires and drought.

Explanation:

The statement claims that some climate scientists believe grasslands may be more efficient and reliable at removing carbon from the atmosphere than forests due to their resilience after fires and drought. This is a valid assertion based on ecological research. Grasslands have a different growth pattern and recovery mechanism compared to forests. After disturbances like fires or droughts, grasslands can often rebound more quickly, resuming carbon - sequestration processes. Forests, on the other hand, may take longer to recover, especially if the disturbance is severe (e.g., a large - scale wildfire that kills mature trees).

Answer:

TRUE
