If there is a natural cycle wherein growing trees suck up CO2 and dying trees release it, then overall there is a NET ZERO effect on the CO2 levels.

Soils can sequester carbon for millenia, but the real sink is when those soils get washed into the ocean and consumed by dynoflagellates, which then sink and form deposits of calcium carbonate.
