It is just how a tree works, it gets the matter to grow from the carbon dioxide. If they are burned or they die this carbon is slowly released again, same way as coal has carbon that is stored until burning
Hence why we're probably breathing more algea-breath while not so terribly much from trees (unless you're standing next to one during daytime). ๐
