Quote from that link:

Parker and McMahon don't expect SERC's forest to continue growing at this
accelerated rate forever. Some day the growth rate will level off. When that
happens, they wonder how that will affect CO2 levels. If trees are sponges
that absorb CO2, what will happen to CO2 levels in the atmosphere when the
trees become saturated?
