Burying trees seems like a huge effort. Is there a fundamental reason you can't treat the wood to make it non flammable and non digestible, and just stack them

Burying trees seems like a huge effort.
Is there a fundamental reason you can't treat the wood to make it non flammable and non digestible, and just stack them in big piles somewhere?
- Ancalagon 4y agoLike spraying them down in PFAS, insecticide, and wrapping them in plastic? Not sure that will go over well long term. Edit: Hope yall realize this was sarcasm and none of these options would sequester the carbon long term.

- BurningFrog 4y agoWood gets consumed in most parts of the ocean, but in at least the Baltic and Black Sea, it gets preserved for thousands of years, without any treatment. Aside from weighing it down enough to stop floating, of course.
- BurningFrog 4y agoYeah, except the wrapping part is probably not needed.
