The carbon carrying capacity (CCC) of an ecosystem is determined by prevailing climate and natural disturbance conditions. Projected climate change and increasing area burned have the potential to alter forest CCC. We have been working across several landscapes to quantify the effects of projected climate and wildfire on forest carbon dynamics and the potential for management to mit
