The research in Japan has demonstrated that bamboo can absorb as much as 12 tonnes of carbon dioxide per hectare per year, beside, bamboo releases 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere than an equivalent stand of hardwood trees.

• Bamboo planting prevents landslide and soil erosion

With strong root systems, cling to the soil and spreading over large area, bamboo prevents landslide along the river banks during floods.
Especially, when bamboo grows thickly will create the windbreaks that reduce the devastation of typhoon and hurricane.

When forests are cut down for wood, the stumps are burned to provide fertilizer and space for next growing crops. The soil underneath is usually left to erode, with the nutrients and leftover topsoil being washed away by the rain. However, bamboo will regenerate itself after harvest without planting new trees. The bamboo roots still exist there for the next season, so that it will prevent erosion and retain nutrients for the soil.
For the land have been damaged by overgrazing or poor farming conditions, people oftens plant bamboo as a staring way to restore the land. (Source)
