Young Trees
Young trees produce more
oxygen than they use.
However, when they grow
old and die, or when they are
harvested, photosynthesis
slows down or stops com
pletely and another process
begins. When lumber finally
decays entirely, it will have
absorbed all the oxygen it
produced when it was a
young growing tree.
