>- harvesting trees results in release of CO2 from soils, which continues for decades; I coppice, no tree dies, the soil is not disrupted. >- burning natural hardwood forest and replacing with fast-growing forest plantations (a common practice), permanently elevates atmospheric CO2 because plantations don’t store as much carbon as natural forests; There are plenty of fast growing woods - willow, beech, hazel >- cutting and processing wood uses energy, which generally results in CO2 emissions. Meaculpa - I use a chainsaw, but there is a future in which I can use an electric saw and and axe (I use an axe alot now anyway)
