Autistically correct, but more broadly I correct. The classical use of the concept is "trees pull in rainclouds and increase net rainfall", not "trees pull water from ground and then transpire it out". It was a 19th century idea that lead to dustbowls.

They cited a link to transpiration (not only did I read the essay, but I read the footnotes before snarking), but the gestalt of the essay is the other - Motte and Bailey

I just wish the intersection of those interested in terraforming Earth and those with the necessary rigour to actually do it was larger
