i'm no expert but don't the roots (and everything else left behind) rot away and release co2?

  Most of the CO2 is captured in soil. And there is a very good chance that such good soil will sprout other plants, continuing the carbon capture cycle. (In fact, dead trees in the forests are sometimes called tree nurseries.) So the effect is net-carbon-capture.

    (I meant carbon, not CO2)
