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.

I know that it is controversial topic but in practice both
natural=wood and landuse=forest means "area where trees are growing"

common osm interpretation of landuse=forest is less strict, I think
