One more tool that we could be quickly ramping up deployment of is herds of goats [0].

Much cheaper than people, can clear terrain that's too difficult for people, no smoke or noise of herbicides needed, etc.

Herds can be grown over time too. (Brief googling tells me they reproduce annually, and tend to usually have twins or more, so you could do a quick back of the envelope calculation to project growth.)

Used in conjunction with other methods of clearing biomass, they could help a lot.
