I have read the following statement : Research cites that a young, growing forest--following harvest operations--is much better for the environment than an old growth stand of trees. Actively growing trees between 20 and 70 years old have the ability to sequester carbon, whereas trees beyond that age are carbon neutral and even begin to release carbon into the atmosphere. (this is an industry report) The question is are these facts true, false, misleading, incomplete. Could you also list sources. Thanks.
