This is how it happens when clearcutting helps the climate

The researchers' investigations of 50 different forest stands indicate that it is the growth of the trees that determines the forest's carbon balance in the northern cultivated forests.

According to the researchers, the soil's release of carbon dioxide through decomposition has, in comparison, less importance.

Clearcutting binds more carbon dioxide than it gives off within ten years of felling.

Carbon dioxide affects the climate negatively, but since the clearing becomes a carbon dioxide trap relatively quickly, according to the researchers at SLU (Swedish Agricultural University), felling can have a positive effect after a while.
