It's certainly releasing carbon that has been stored in the forests. Instead of trees a hundred feet high and associated jungle growth we get 1-2 seasons of grain products. Then the soil is exhausted and incapable of renewing itself because the ecology is wrecked by humans.
BTW, "pulp farms" are very unlike "old growth forests".
