That does seem counter-intuitive. I do think we're past the point that
nature could find equilibrium without intervention, but, hey - I like
trees and forests. I've never been a viridian environmentalist.

Trees are free. CO2 scrubber systems can be licensed, patented, placed
in service contracts and ultimately use the threat of multiple species
extinction to justify their cost increases.

Man, I'm getting cynical!
