Well, according to Energy and Civilization forest stores an average of 1 watt per square meter in burnable wood. Wood burning is pretty carbon intensive as energy goes so I imagine that each square meter of forest, if the fallen trees are buried deep underground, could offset several watts of internal combustion engine use.
