While tree farms absorb large amounts of {{CO2}}, the long-term [[carbon sequestration|sequestration]] of this carbon depends on what is done with the harvested materials. Forests continue to absorb atmospheric carbon for centuries if left undisturbed.<ref>{{cite journal| journal=Nature| volume=455| pages=213–215| date=11 September 2008| doi=10.1038/nature07276| first1=Sebastiaan |last1=Luyssaert |first2=E. |last2=-Detlef Schulze |first3=Annett |last3=Börner |first4=Alexander |last4=Knohl |first5=Dominik |last5=Hessenmöller |first6=Beverly E. |last6=Law |first7=Philippe |last7=Ciais |first8=John |last8=Grace| title=Old-growth forests as global carbon sinks | pmid=18784722 | issue=7210| bibcode=2008Natur.455..213L| s2cid=4424430| url=https://hal-cea.archives-ouvertes.fr/cea-00910763/file/Luyssaert2008.pdf}}</ref>
