    Bogs, specifically peat bogs, are indeed an exception, but that has very little to do with the trees.

      Well yeah, there’s nothing about trees that make them impervious to decay but no real organism does that. But petrified trees are far more stable for carbon sequestration than peat bogs that some brilliant humans decide to burn.
