If you kept planting and burying trees you'd be taking oxygen out of the atmosphere in addition to carbon, which would cause other problems.

- kaybe 12y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis n CO2 + n H2O + photons → (CH2O)n + n O2 carbon dioxide + water + light energy → carbohydrate + oxygen Even if the single oxygen per carbon stayed buried, we'd lose a maximum of 400ppm[1] of oxygen, of currently 20.95 % volume of oxygen. That does not even affect the last digit of that rounded number, and the number is normally not given with more digits because it changes with the season and stuff. No carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would probably be really bad for further tree growth (among other things), so it is naturally limited.
