    The answer is that they will decompose, releasing the CO2 that they absorbed, it may take some time: fungi, insects and bacteria will do the decomposition, but ultimately the CO2 they took in will be released back into the atmosphere. Trees are not the answer to removing CO2 (though they can lock it up for many decades...which may be helpful).

    Do you not spot the awfully large hole in your thinking ?

    Yes, it was absorbing carbon. By leaving it in the ground, all that nasty greenhouse gas remains nicely locked up and out of harms way. Unfortunately, we're continuing to liberate it in huge quantities, and experiencing the results.....300 UK flood warnings in a single day. The scale of floods being described as unprecedented. Record rainfall/river levels, countless homes and businesses devastated, etc.

    Only by substantially reducing our carbon footprint, can even bleaker scenarios be avoided. For every 1 deg C rise in global temps, the atmosphere gains 7% more water content. Since we're heading for at least a 2 deg C rise, that equates to at least 14% more water content. Which means there are undoubtedly worse floods to come.

    Long may that continue - and the more finance made available for enabling it the better.....But let's not forget, there are also many bonus acres of sustainably-managed commercial woodland.

    Those trees grown for profit are, as a matter of course, cropped in rotation, being sold as timber products (inc logs). Without customer demand for these forestry products, commercial planting becomes non-viable, and voila - less wooded acreage in the UK

    I have to assume this is a wind up so I'll leave you to it.

    Whoops! Trees absorb CO2, where it is combined with water to produce sugar to feed the trees, releasing a by product of oxygen into the atmosphere. 1 molecule of CO2 adds one atom of carbon to the plant and produces 1 molecule of O2.

    As I've said before, once dead, trees do not absorb carbon. And they all die. Once dead they release carbon.

    It might help for you to understand why forests work the hole in your thinking is lets say large and cringeworthy.

    It might help to think beyond one tree and not just the bit you see !

    Very little since much of the carbon absorbed has been changed by photosynthesis to sugar.
