Over time countries【C2】______ a "forest transition curve". They start in【C3】______with the land covered in trees. As they get richer, they fell the forest and the curve drops sharply until it reaches a low point when people decide to【C4】______whatever they have left Then the curve rises as reforestation【C5】______.

If you fell and burn them, you【C11】______ carbon into the atmosphere. If you let them【C12】______they store carbon away in their trunks for centuries.
