The tag landuse says some thing about the land being used for some 
productive purpose for humans.
In that way landuse=forest says that the area is used/going to be used 
to produce something of benefit to humans.
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.
So most of the time the area is covered by trees, but not necessarily 
all of the time.

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.
And it implies that the trees are all ways there.
