Even with extremely optimistic assumptions, after
Carboniferous period, forest is carbon neutral,
because fungi have evolved to be wood-destroying
releasing carbon stored in woods into the air,
which terminated the Carboniferous period.

Increasing forest area may increase deposited carbon in
woods but is not practical or sustainable, especially
because of population growth.
