4.258 tons per person carbon is our carbon emissions per person per year back in 2017 in Canada. we’d have to grow forests / build structures at that *rate* to balance emissions. 
Back in school I used to sit in the terrestrial geobiosciences reading group where we would review and share papers. I'm shooting from the hip here but I'm pretty sure that land use changes are only on the order of 10-20% of emissions effects. And they're static: eg have a max.
you're right, i'm imagining a scale beyond what we've ever achieved. i don't know if it's realistic, but it seems more realistic than other methods of carbon drawdown it would be easier to emit less
It's a question of mass. There's only so much reservoir for carbon or nitrogen in forests. You can, and arguable should, roll back the land use to pre-settlement forests, but we can already calculate the tonnes of CO2 it accounts for. And it's fixed. It doesn't grow.
well, for that matter, the amount of fossil fuels we have, or will ever burn, can also be thought of as a stock, rather than a flow. we need to move to sustainable energy. so you can think of the eventual burn / eventual structures constructed.
