...forests will be managed so that trees store more carbon dioxide...

That will be a neat trick. Trees "store" carbon by virtue of the simple fact that they are carbon-based life-forms. The bigger a tree gets, the more carbon it "stores".

But trees do not "store" carbon-dioxide.

Correct; they use the carbon and release the oxygen into the atmosphere.
