Call me stupid but I was told that while yes, Trees does absorb CO2 form the air and give Oxygen back during daytime. There’s also a reason to not have tree in your enclosed bedroom during night as it release all the CO2 absorbed.
So my question was that people are saying to plant tree to help purify the air in streets, city, or any dense population location. If the statement in first paragraph’s correct. wouldn’t that just result in that the trees would give the o2 and purify the air during day time and just flood the street with co2 during night? I’m confused…

Some of the sugars from photosynthesis are used (especially in woody plants) to make new perminant plant materials- branches and roots. As long as the number of live trees increases we can use forests as a net store of carbon.
Alot of carbon gets perminantly sequestered into the soil, either by the roots or through the action of the soil biome when leaves or other plant materials die and drop off.
