They'll need to diversify to survive. The carbon sink gig is not cutting it with investors. And in a world short of food and energy you can never expect carbon credits to be a primary income stream, because gross margins compete directly with those of food or energy production.
Oilseed tree crops are the most logical tree crops to be focussing on because you produce a valuable commodity (namely the oilseed which is food or fuel) whilst the growing tree creates a carbon sink secondary in concern to the primary income derived from oilseed production. You can't argue with logic like that?
For heavy soils mallees are better suited but you still would need to compare mallee for biomass gross margins to mallees for carbon credit gross margins.
