That in turn only works if you assume that wood never rots, burns, etc. I don't have any solid information on the annual growth in processed wood in existence, but I suspect that, to the extent it is increasing, this will gradually taper off as population growth slows. Now if you're saying we could bury the wood somewhere where it won't rot, well enough. That does seem feasible. But normally when I read stuff like this, people think just planting and leaving the trees will be sufficient. And it won't. At any rate, if that's what the research is getting at, they probably need to title it differently, or explain early on that merely planting the trees is a necessary but not sufficient condition to achieve the wins they envision.
