Further I already use niced up numbers in favour of trees there because I use forests not trees and forests save half their carbon in the soil Removing would be that it is removed out of the carbon cycle but that isn't happening here the carbon cycle storage is just higher. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] boonhet@lemmy.zip 1 point 5 days ago (1 child) So don't let the trees decompose.

In rare cases like the Kalambo structure it is more. You would need structures akin to nuclear waste storage to seal all dead trees away, which would be a lot of space and money you have to spend. And then it would still not be forever. permalink fedilink source parent
