According to the wiki, trees that start dead (ones with "dead" or "dry" in their name and no leaves) always absorb pollution, whereas trees that have "died" (i.e. lost their leaves) due to over-pollution eventually cease absorption entirely. That a smattering of dried out logs in the desert can absorb more pollution than an exfoliated forest in the grasslands seems jarringly inconsistent to me. I propose that all trees without leaves behave similarly towards pollution, regardless of whether they spawned with leaves or not.
