<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The tag landuse says some thing about
the land being used for some productive purpose for humans. <br>
In that way landuse=forest says that the area is used/going to be
used to produce something of benefit to humans.<br>
At some time that area may be harvested of trees .. and then have
no trees for a a short time while new trees are planted, or grow
naturally, and allowed to grow. <br>
So most of the time the area is covered by trees, but not
necessarily all of the time. <br>
<br>
The tag natural=wood says that trees reside here - they can be man
planted, cultivated, maintained .. but is says nothing about them
being used to produce something for humans. <br>
And it implies that the trees are all ways there.<br>

common osm interpretation of landuse=forest is less strict,
