How will the destruction of forest trees make a difference in the environment?
and converted to lumber, and in some cases treated to prevent decay, the carbon in the tree tissue will remain sequestered indefinitely. If, when the trees are harvested, more trees are planted in their place, and eventually harvested and converted to lumber, more carbon will be sequestered. The most effective use of forests, in terms of carbon sequestration, is to continually plant and harvest trees on a regular cycle.
