I guess. I'm just sceptical that people will actually not cut them down later.
I want carbon dioxyde turned into something less profitable to turn into coal again.
Trees have a life cycle, and city trees need maintenance.
The most carbon negative thing would be to prune the trees throughout their lifetime to maximise canopy uplift and spread, which maximises ground shading. Shred the prunings and the dead trees and stuff the shreds into old decommissioned bulker ships, and sink the ships in the deep ocean, sequestering the carbon in the wood into an anoxic environment where it won't rot.
Tree shreddings being mulched into gardens just eventually rot and decompose back into CO2 through bacterial action.
Sinking the densest logs of mature trees into the ocean would sequester that carbon for tens of thousands of years
In old forests most co2 is absorbed by mycelium underground. Leave a varied forest alone and it will.tale care of this process on its own.
Cutting them down after a long period is fine. The real need is cooling and CO2 reduction over the next 20 years by which society should be mostly carbon neutral.
