That would be a question of quantity. In a research interview if...

An introduction to floodplain meadows

...data from Chamberlain et al. (2010). Footnotes Footnotes 2 0–10 cm data from Lawson et al. (2018). Floodplain meadows sequester more carbon than an intensively managed grassland with only one or two plant species, due to their high diversity. The associated root diversity (see Figure 2) means more of the soil volume is used, allowing higher storage of carbon. [Described...

Energy resources: solar energy

...data give a more realistic view of the amount of available solar energy across the planet (Figure 3). One surprising feature is that summer months in Greenland and Antarctica have the highest actual insolation on the planet. That is partly because the Sun shines for 24 hours each summer day, but also because ice caps are usually free of cloud during summer months -...
