When trees die, what happens to the carbon stored in them?

0

About half the weight of a tree is carbon. When trees die and decompose, the carbon they absorbed while they were growing is gradually released into new growth, soil and air. By planting lasting forests we are ensuring the carbon is locked up for generations in the trees and wood that is harvested.
