In page Carbon sequestration:

"

Forests are an important part of the global carbon cycle because trees and plants absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. Therefore, they play an important role in climate change mitigation.[2]: 37  By removing the greenhouse gas CO2 from the air, forests function as terrestrial carbon sinks, meaning they store large amounts of carbon in the form of biomass, encompassing roots, stems, branches, and leaves. By doing so, forests sequester approximately 25% of human carbon emissions annually, playing a critical role in Earth's climate.[3] Throughout their lifespan, trees continue to sequester carbon, storing atmospheric CO2 long-term.[4] Sustainable forest management, afforestation, reforestation are therefore important contributions to climate change mitigation.[citation needed]
