    Yeah it is stored in the living tree the moment the tree dies it will be released back into the atmosphere by decomposing.

    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.

      So don’t let the trees decompose. Wood furniture lasts forever basically.

        It doesn’t it is around 50 years in use and often it is nearly impossible to find wooden artifacts after 1000 years. 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.
