If you want to understand the role that trees, woodlands and new plantings can have in combating climate change Mark Broadmeadow is your man. Mark is a research sceintist for the Forestry Commission and has published a number of important papers on this topic.
A list of some of his dowloadable publications can be found here.
I recommend the following:-
Climate Change and British Woodlands - fcin069 [1].pdf
Forests, carbon and climate change: the UK contribution - fcin048.pdf
Climate Change - implications for forestry in Britain
All these papers are downloadable foc from the above link. They are all scientific papers so put aside couple of hours to digest them - you wont regret it though. You will understand the carbon cycle, which tree species are at risk as a result of climate change and why cutting down trees and burning them is carbon neutral. Essential reading if you are into biofuel boilers for example!
