During photosynthesis, trees and plants “sequester,” or absorb, carbon from the atmosphere in the form of CO2, using it as food. ... The carbon from the CO2 becomes part of the plant and is stored as wood. Eventually, when the plant or tree dies, the carbon it has been storing is released into the atmosphere
