Got any source on that? Carbon generally isn't released without burning or so I thought. Though, this article seems to suggest that composted wood releases it's carbon which is at odds with what I thought I knew.

Biological process are generally a slow controlled burn. Compost burns the carbon for the energy that creates, releasing CO2.
