Trees are natural carbon sinks; they absorb carbon dioxide by photosynthesis, some of which is stored as carbon compounds in the wood—both during growth and even after harvesting, in the form of some wood products. Underground, forest soils and root structures store even more carbon. Calculating stored carbon; “additionality”.
