Probably a really bad idea but what about chemical treatment to prevent rot.

That would negate the advantage of not requiring extra effort/energy. And decomposition of organic material is required for the rainforest ecosystem to work.

And I'd go with radiation or heating for sterilization.

or you know, maybe just using the new "easy" tech of lignin removel through oxidation. But you're right, we can't excessively clean the forest of organic "waste".
