Subject: Compaction of soils/state lands
Comment:
The global warming contributions of livestock are not limited to
the methane they produce. The effect of trampling on soils'
ability to capture carbon is not yet clear (see
http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/news/center/articles/science-07-13-2008.html),
but the attached article (Teepe) suggests intact soils capture
carbon better than trampled soils. On a large scale, this may be
significant for CARB's purpose

For this reason, CARB should follow the science on this issue and
if it has potential for significant quantifiable carbon capture,
look into eliminating livestock grazing from state public lands.
