Reforestation only sequesters carbon if the land remains forest forever. If it’s cleared again in the future then that carbon goes right back into the atmosphere.

Doesn't it depend on what is done with all the wood that was chopped down? If used say for construction, that carbon is staying out of the atmosphere.

Or do mature trees not make up the majority of the carbon that is stored in forests?
