Grasslands are dominated by grasses and several species of forbs. Which of the following best describes a forb?
Trees and taller shrubs which survive in grasslands

Forests are responsible for storing large amounts of carbon. However, there are some cases in which forests can also release significant amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. When does this typically occur?
Trees release carbon when decaying, so when areas experience deforestation large amounts of a forest’s sequestered carbon will be released back into the atmosphere
Trees can only hold a limited amount of carbon, so a forest of mature trees begins to release carbon as trees age
Trees release large amounts of carbon during the process of photosynthesis, in vast forests of broadleaf trees this outweighs the amount of carbon sequestered
Trees do not release atmospheric carbon but do secrete carbon into the soil, resulting in forest soils containing an excess of carbon
