Numpty relative planted some Willow trees in a small garden. At the time of planting, the garden was about two inches below the path. Fifteen years later came back to cut the trees (now about 30 feet high). The foliage hand built up the top soil to well over an extra four inches covering the path. What ever is burned and leftover carbon is far less than the tree has absorbed during its life.
Using a woodburner at home, there is only a minimal amount of white ash left over and nil soot because dry wood is burnt at high temperature.
Trees are good at absorbing CO2, England has lost 10% its trees in twenty years under government building policy.
